      <image:title>ABOUT - Why Pickles? When the Pickles founding kids were first getting to know each other, they played a game to find out what they had in common. One of the first things these new friends realized they shared was a love of pickles— or so they thought! It turned out they had one defector, but the name stuck. It evolved to include a silly theme song that caused them to erupt in laughter every time they were together. From that point on the founding kids referred to themselves as “The Pickles”. The founding families then set out to understand what the name Pickles might stand for as their kids continued to meet and create a peer community where they could thrive: (P)ersevere (I)lluminate (C)onnect (K)indle (L)earn (E)mpower (S)upport.</image:title>
