The newest issue of Periscope is the result of a two-year research project we performed to determine the salient characteristics of a PS1 graduate. What qualities can you expect to see in your child upon graduation? Look inside to read about each characteristic on the "Portrait" Chart, as well as the teachers' descriptions of each one in action.

Teachers John and Aarika note, "We knew we would want to move below the surface and age appropriately uncover this brutally painful aspect of our history.
