Dear PES Families,

We hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Our newsletter can be accessed here.

Please consider helping PES support the victims of the recent Hurricanes that have impacted the southeast of the United States in recent weeks. The informational fliers have been home with all students. We are asking for donations of the items listed on the fliers, with a final collection date of October 22. Donations can be sent to the school with students or dropped off by community members. Thank you for considering supporting this important cause.

Red Ribbon Spirit Week is coming up soon! Red Ribbon Week serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. PES will observe this important week by holding 5 different spirit days! We will also have special Red Ribbon Themed items and activities for our Panthers throughout the week. The information for Red Ribbon Week and our Spirit Days is being sent home with students, and is also on our Facebook page and in our Panther Newsletter.

This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mr. Ryan List. Mr. List is our Music Specialist/Teacher and the Maestro of PES! Mr. List has been teaching for 10 years! Mr. List has achieved a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Lebanon Valley College and a Bachelor of Arts in Music with a Concentration in Trombone Performance from Lebanon Valley College. Currently, Mr. List is pursuing his Master of Music Education with a Modern Band Certificate from Lebanon Valley College. Mr. List leads our band, orchestra, chorus, and Panther Singers while also being a member of our Wellbeing and Belonging School Improvement Team. Mr. List plans to continue to help students develop a lifelong passion for music making and maybe even help inspire the next generation of music educators at a post-secondary level! We are so thankful that Mr. List has made the Panther Pride Den his home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride
