Spring Production 2024: Antarctica
Please bring children under the age of 4 to see the Spring Production at Dress Rehearsal on Wednesday March 20th at 1:30 p.m. rather than to an evening performance.
Evening presentations of Spring Production will be Thursday March 21st and Friday March 22nd at 7 p.m. Call up your favorite babysitter as no childcare will be provided.
A Bake Sale fundraiser will follow the evening productions to benefit our Gettysburg trip on April 5th.
Learning Together With the All-School Unit
The All-School Unit is one example of PUCS’s integral curriculum.
PUCS Faculty meets each spring with our Special Events and Curriculum Resource Consultant to brainstorm an All-School Unit topic. Once this is decided, together they develop enduring understanding and essential questions for the unit. The Curriculum Resource Consultant prepares a resource packet for teachers who develop the details and lesson plans for their unit. The Special Events Consultant helps develop field trips for the units, decorate the building, and later writes the script and lyrics based on student product from the unit for the Elementary Spring Production. Middle School teachers include the topic as a recurring theme throughout their curriculum and instruction throughout the year.
Creating the Spring Production
The Annual Spring Production is based on our all-school unit. We compile student-written songs, stories, skits, and movement that are put into script form. During the month of February, the students rehearse, make revisions, and design costumes and sets. The production is held in March and the entire community is invited to watch!

The 2022 Spring Production, “The Great PUCS Baking Show,” was not able to be held in-person due to Covid concerns. Check out the production video below!
