Dear PES Families,

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

This week, we have a two-day week, and Thanksgiving Break will begin on Wednesday, 11/27. School will resume on Monday, December 2. We hope all of our PES Families have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Our PTO will be running PTO Movie Night on Friday, 12/13. Our PTO will be advertising materials for this important and fun night soon!

This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Cortney Blizzard. Mrs. Blizzard teaches grades K through 2 as a Special Education teacher grade. She has taught for 10 years here at PES. She has a Bachelor's in Elementary and Special Education and is certified in Early Childhood Education. Mrs. Blizzard also holds a Masters Degree in Differentiated Instruction and has received training in LETRS, OG+ Math, and OG+ Reading Interventions. Mrs. Blizzard plans to become a National Board Certified Teacher and continue to support and help her students grow, learn, and succeed. We are so thankful that Mrs. Blizzard has made the Panther Pride Den her home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride

Our school is continuing to take part in an exciting, community-wide shared reading event. Today, after our newest special school-wide assembly, your child received a copy of the book—Friendship According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney—and again is being asked to read it with his or her family at home over the next few weeks. We ask you to make the time to read the book together so your family can participate in this fun reading experience. The information in our newsletter below is being sent home with all students, can be found on our website and blog, and has been emailed to all families

  1. Thanksgiving Break Begins - Wednesday, 11/27

  2. School Resumes - Monday, 12/2
