Cherished Traditions, Lasting Memories
The Traditions That Tie Us Together
Each tradition at PPP is an invitation to connect—with one another, with the rhythms of the seasons, and with the wonder of childhood itself. These shared rituals don’t just mark time; they make the experience. Rooted in care and community, our cherished traditions nourish our culture and create space for children and families to feel seen, celebrated, and at home.

Founders Day Parade
Each October, we honor the heart and vision behind PPP with our Founders Day Parade. Children proudly wear handmade hats and play instruments as they march together—celebrating community, creativity, and the legacy of those who built our village.
Fall Festival
A day of joy and community, our Fall Festival is packed with face painting, games, activities, and delicious food—all to support and celebrate our school. Open to everyone, it’s a wonderful way to connect and create happy memories. Keep an eye out for announcements to join the fun!


Lantern Walk
To welcome the winter solstice, our Lantern Walk fills the evening with light and warmth. Children carry lanterns they crafted, gather to hear a cozy seasonal story, and share in a community potluck featuring seasonal foods and hot cocoa—nurturing connection and wonder in the darkest days.
Stone Soup
In winter’s heart, we come together for Stone Soup—a special day where each child brings an ingredient to add to the pot. Together, we chop garden-grown vegetables and prepare a warm, nourishing meal that celebrates community, sharing, and the simple magic of coming together.


Pizza Day
As the school year winds down, Pizza Day brings smiles and creativity! Children choose their favorite toppings and make personal pizzas—a delicious tradition that celebrates individuality, togetherness, and tasty fun.
Community Potlucks
Held several times a year, our Community Potlucks are a cherished way for families to come together, share delicious food, and create lasting memories. These gatherings nurture connection, foster a sense of togetherness, and strengthen our community ties.
