One of the unique characteristics of PEAI is that classes stay together for a year. Not a school year with summer and winter breaks, but a full 365 days with the same peers and teacher. Working intimately with the same cohort breeds classroom culture. During each three hour block, values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices are gradually, collaboratively constructed and start to define each class. By December, though BM1, BM2, BT1, and BT2 are categorically 6th grade classes, each is uniquely its own and full of wonderful idiosyncrasies.

because of you, i laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more
After December 31, we will no longer be with one another physically. Our collective culture and memories, however, extend beyond the walls of Room 8 and throughout time and space.
