Dear PES Families,

We hope everyone is having a great weekend! Our newsletter can be accessed here.

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 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!

We are so excited that it is almost time for the Book Fair!!! This year's Fall Fair will be a little bit different. Only books and posters will be available, and there will not be a preview day. The fair will occur on Monday, November 4th, and Wednesday - Friday, the 6th, 7th, and 8th. There is no school on Tuesday for Election Day. This is an exciting week because the Specials Schedule will change for students. This is the beginning of Quarter 2. We will have an after-school Book Fair from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. on Thursday 11/7. Everyone is welcome! This newsletter also includes information on how to use the eWallet feature or order books online for delivery. This week, all information will be sent home with your student via paper copy.

Grandparents Day and our annual Veterans Day Program are right around the corner! Grandparents Day will be an all-day event on Friday, November 8. The Veterans Day Program will occur on Friday, November 8, at 2 PM and will be open to the Preston Community. Please stay on the lookout for details about these important events! Information will be communicated via email and social media this week, and paper copies will be sent home to students.

This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Cathy Elin. Mrs. Elin is our Multilingual Language teacher (MLL) and has taught for 22 years! She has a Bachelor's from Towson University in Elementary Education and a Master's from La Salle in Building Positive Classroom Communities. She is certified in the following areas: Elementary 1-6, Physical Education, PreK-12, Early Childhood PK-3, ANC Reading 12, ESOL Pre K-12, and ANC Spelling 3. Mrs. Elin is a member of our Wellbeing and Belonging, Equity, and Behavior and Safety Teams. Mrs. Elin plans on continuing to keep loving and teaching our ML students each and every day! We are so thankful that Mrs. Elin has made the Panther Pride Den her home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride
