Grizzlies spirit has struck PDS, and it's soon to be (weather permitting) on display for all driving by on Poplar Avenue.

Members of the PDS community have collaborated on the design and creation of a wooden, eight-foot tall set of Grizzlies (the five starters, plus Coach Hollins and Griz). "We want to show our support of the team and love of Memphis," says Headmaster Lee Burns.

Individuals involved in the project include PDS boys Kemp Conrad (2nd grade), Andrew Dobbs (2nd grade), Tre Johnson (5th grade), Robert King (4th grade), Matt Michael (5th grade), Edwin Rawson (5th grade), Thomas Rogers (5th grade), Blake Sexton (5th grade), Russell Williamson (5th grade), and Andrew Xu (2nd grade).

Two PDS alums, Jackson Pacheco and Shea Gabrielleschi, joined the current PDS boys in offering their hard work and artistic skills.

Art teacher Darla Linerode-Henson coordinated the project in her art room. Several of her colleagues on the faculty joined in the fun, including PE teachers Spencer McLean and Garrett Harrison, as well as Learning Coaches Abbie Fowler and Amy Fruitt, 2nd grade teacher Beth Diaz, and substitute teacher Rhonda Test.

Several parents, Olga King and Brian Fowler, joined in the fun.

All in all, it was a team effort, led by our great art teacher, Mrs. Linerode-Henson.

PDS hopes that Grizzlies fans enjoy the art.

Go Grizzlies!
