Robin Enan, PBS Parent and Active PBSA Volunteer
“I chose PBS for my children after observing PBS students at local playgrounds when my eldest child was a toddler. I could immediately tell which children came from PBS — they were unfailingly the ones who were respectful to adults, kind to younger kids, and involved in inclusive activities. That’s the kind of human PBS sends out into the world, and it’s the model I wanted for my kids.”

Cristina Floriani Collins, PBS Alum and Third Grade Co-Teacher
“PBS’s focus on kindness, inclusivity, and curiosity left a lasting impression on me as a student here. I wasn’t just taught academics; I was taught to approach life with compassion and an open mind. These values are still central to my teaching—PBS laid the foundation not just for my role as an educator, but for the person I am today.”

Amanda Tachis, PBS Alum and Interim Director of Advancement
"PBS has been a constant in my life—as a student, a teacher, and now as part of the Advancement Team. Each chapter has deepened my appreciation for this extraordinary community. In my student years, PBS nurtured my love of learning and helped me develop a deep sense of self-love and appreciation, shaping the values that continue to guide me today. As a teacher, I was able to inspire that same confidence and curiosity in my students. In my current role, I get to help ensure that future generations experience the same transformative experience. This school is more than just a place of learning; it is a community built on kindness, connection, and a deep belief in every child's potential."
