On the last Friday of each month an Elementary Citizenship Assembly is held in the school auditorium or field house. These assemblies begin at 8:45a.m. and usually last one hour. A multi media approach which includes song, dance, drama, art work, special announcements, awards, etc. results in a high interest, engaging experience for all elementary students, faculty, and staff. Parents have an open invitation to these assemblies and are often well represented. These assemblies have become a founding pillar of tradition and ritual for the PLS Elementary Citizenship Program. The fellowship is often inspirational and contagious. Many secondary students have fond memories of these assemblies. Secondary student groups such as the NU Singers, NU Student Council, NU Peer Helpers, and the NU athletic teams often volunteer to assist at these assemblies.  Assembly Manners are also presented and discussed with the students.
