PCSD Students Receive Free Tickets to View, "Selma" Students from Peekskill Middle School’s DREAM program and Peekskill High School’s PACE program recently had the opportunity to travel to the Cortlandt Town Center to view the movie “Selma,” in celebration of Black History Month. Both groups received free tickets to the movie, which is about a key moment in the civil-rights movement during the 1960’s, through an initiative started by IBM executive Michael Littlejohn of the Beta Zeta Boule’ Foundation. After seeing the film himself, Littlejohn joined a nationwide effort to share the film with young people and helped raise over $70,000 to purchase movie tickets for students in Westchester County. Goldilocks and the Three Bears Pay a Visit to Uriah Hill Uriah Hill students got a special treat at their monthly PBIS celebration when the school’s teachers teamed up to act out the classic tale of, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” as the story was read aloud to the children. The students’ smiles and laughter were great indicators of our teachers’ acting talents. \ Tour Our Schools!
