Kindergarten turkeys are pretty cute 🥰 and those thanksgiving feasts look like masterpieces! 🦃🧡
PreK panthers got to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast today together 🫶🏻 🦃 We sure are thankful for these little turkeys and their teachers!! 🧡
First grade got a special visit from Maryland Snap- Ed program today for “Read for Health”. First grade panthers got to taste broccoli, apples, whole wheat crackers, hummus, and vanilla yogurt. 🍎 🥦
Read for Health is a language arts-based nutrition and physical activity education curriculum for early elementary school students. Each lesson is based around the reading of a storybook, followed by a discussion and hands on tasting, gardening, or physical activity. Thank you to Maryland SNAP-Ed Program The Maryland Snap-Ed Program, Mid-Shore Region for this wonderful program for our kindergarten and first grade panthers! 🍏🍌🍉🍇

Earlier this week we said Humphrey was visiting classrooms! Here he is visiting with Mrs. Burns's class and having a great time! Also, today we had a trivia contest on our morning announcements! Congratulations to Mrs. Watson's third grade class for calling in as the third caller to win extra recess for knowing that Humphrey won the costume contest for dressing as a ghost, and picked a carrot as his prize! We will be playing the trivia game every Friday for extra recess while we read "The World According to Humphrey!" #pespantherpride
Our Kindergarten Panthers worked hard on their homework this week helping to disguise turkeys that don’t want to get eaten for Thanksgiving! Way to go! #pespantherpride
We would like to take the time to thank Mrs. Connie Rodano and Mrs. Sandy Banko , our two amazing permanent substitute teachers, for all they do for our students, staff, and school! No matter what they are there to make sure that our Panthers have a first class education every day no matter what circumstances might happen! We are so thankful, fortunate that they are here with us at PES! #pespantherpride

How is our PES community doing with The World According to Humphrey? Our Panthers are enjoying our book and Humphrey is visiting our classrooms daily and will be visiting all our Panthers as we continue reading! This week, we are already up to chapter 7 and 8! What did you guys think of Humphreys costume? And was it definitely the best at the contest? We might be biased, but we definitely think he deserved the trophy! Check out Humphrey, enjoying his spacious home and some of the amenities. 😂🐹#pespantherpride
We would like to thank our Preston Panther PTO for their donation of 5 dollars to every single PES Panther during our Fall Book Fair!

Our 5th grade students time traveled today in the footsteps of Harriet Tubman along one of the most famously trafficked stretches of her Underground Railroad in Caroline County. In a string of visits to three historical sites in the area, they toured Linchester Mill in Preston (one of the oldest operating mills in the United States), the James Webb Cabin on Grove Rd. in Preston, and the William Still Interpretive Center at the 4-H Park in Denton. Students were guided by their 5th grade teachers, members of The Caroline County Historical Society, and Friends of Linchester Mill to learn about the history of each site. Thank you to the Caroline County Historical Society, Linchester Mill, parents and chaperones, and 5th grade teachers for making this an amazing experience 🫶🏻🤎
