Dear PES Families,

Our newsletter can be accessed here.

We hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying this nice almost Fall weather! We had an amazing week at PES highlighted by a 3rd grade field trip to Tuckahoe State Park, our 5th grade graders experimenting with electric currents, Kindergarten having fun with MakerSpace, and celebrating our Custodians for National Custodian Appreciation Day! Please be sure to check our website blog or the PES Facebook page to catch up on all of this week's news!

Walk to School Day is on Wednesday, October 9th! For more information, please see our newsletter and the fliers sent home.

This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Ashley Ireland! Mrs. Ireland is a Pawstively Awesome Pre-K 4-year-old team member who has taught for 15 years! Mrs. Ireland has achieved a BS in Elementary and Special Education and is certified in Early Childhood Education and Middle School Math. Mrs. Ireland achieved her Master's of Science in Education from Walden University. Mrs. Ireland is one of our foremost experts in Conscious Discipline and co-chairs the Conscious Discipline/PBIS SIP Action Team. Mrs. Ireland is focused on continuing to be a lifelong learner and always finding how change will make her a better teacher. Mrs. Ireland is an absolute PES rock star, and we are so grateful she is a part of our PES family! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride
