A soooky good time was had by all panthers big and small this morning at PES for our Halloween parade 🧡🖤 Thank you to our amazing Grandparent’s committee & Preston Panther PTO for the goodie bags, Preston ford for bringing treats, and all of our families for coming out to help celebrate our Halloween tradition 🎃
Halloween activities will be held on October 31, 2023. Important: In the event of inclement weather (rain) we will be holding an indoor parade, that due to lack of available space, would be for staff and students only. We will text all families at 7:30 AM tomorrow if that is the case. The forecast looks like it will stay dry (yay!) but it will be colder than it has been so we recommend students wear warmer clothes under their costumes. Please see the email to all parents today or our newsletter for all PES Halloween Celebration information.
Academic night fun continued for these lucky students whose tickets were pulled in our highly anticipated book raffle 🎟️ What a wonderful selection of books students could choose to bid on.

As you may have heard we have a new friend at PES! Humphrey the Hamster has arrived and we have started our "OneSchool, One Book" adventure with "The World According to Humphrey". Every student has received a copy of this book in their native language and we will be reading this book together as a school and community! We encourage you to read along with your students at home. Please see this PES Humphrey Letter we sent home, along with a schedule of when we will be reading our chapters so you can follow along! Humphrey will be visiting classrooms and having adventures all over PES so stay tuned to our social media pages for all the fun!
Red Ribbon Week highlights the importance of living a drug-free life. It presents an opportunity for parents, educators, and communities to reinforce the drug-free messages they share with their children throughout the year. We are recognizing Red Ribbon Week with daily announcements, and by providing our students with Red Ribbon Week items promoting this important message.
