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. These informational fliers have been sent home with all students. We are asking for donations of the items listed on the fliers, with a final collection date of Tuesday, 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 this week! 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 five 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 has been sent home with students and is also on our Facebook page and in our Panther Newsletter.

Attention PES Families: Halloween is coming up! PES will be holding our traditional parade and parties on Halloween, 10/31. Information about parties and parades from both the school and classroom teachers has been sent home and shared electronically with families. This information can also be found in our newsletter below. We are looking forward to another fantastic Halloween Celebration here at PES!

This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Kendel Brown. Mrs. Brown teaches first grade and has been teaching for 5 years! Mrs. Brown has achieved a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education. Mrs. Brown plans to pursue a Master's degree with a concentration in differentiated classrooms. Mrs. Brown is the chairperson of our School Safety and Behavior School Improvement Team, and is leading our work around making PES the very best it can be! We are so thankful that Mrs. Brown has made the Panther Pride Den her home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride
