Media weeks!! 9/29-10/11

Hello PNBS students and families!

We are giving everyone a heads up that media weeks will be starting this coming Monday September 29th and will go through Saturday October 11th! The purpose for media weeks is for our marketing team to gather video content and photos for PNBS social media as well as marketing and promotional use.

During these two week we ask that all students come looking their best with their hair neatly done and the correct class uniform. Our videographers and photographers will be coming in and out of a variety of classes. It is not guaranteed that they will make it to every class to film or photograph. It completely depends on their schedule and what our marketing team needs. Either way, be ready for them them just incase!

If you have any questions, please reach out to the school email (pnbschool@pnb.org)

Thank you!
