PES get ready!! Red Ribbon Week is THIS coming week, Oct 28th-Nov 1st and the theme is - Life is a Movie, Film Drug-Free. ❤️🐲 Please remember that costumes need to be kept at a minimum to ensure that students can remove them easily for bathroom trips, recess, and PE. Sending a change of clothes in their backpack is a good idea because students often tire of wearing their costume all day. Thank you for helping us keep costumes happy and friendly selections without blood, gore, or fright. Thank you for helping us celebrate Drug-Free Week in a sweet, non-scary, fun, way!

HOCO Hat Day was fun! Wednesday is Wacky Miss-Match Wednesday & PTO Glow Day for September birthdays! 👚👖🧦👠👞👟

PES students have been working very hard to master the jump rope. What started as frustration for most of them, has been turned into success and I am SO proud of their accomplishments!! You may have seen the bracelet(s) they were awarded. These bracelets were not given out freely, they had to be earned. For the Kangaroo Club- Kindergarten must complete 5 jumps in a row without messing up. 1st grade must do 10 jumps and 2nd must do 15 jumps. Students who could jump for 1, 2, or 3 minutes without stopping qualified for the 1, 2, and 3-minute clubs! That's a LOT of jumping!! Way to go Dragons and thank you, Coach Wilkins, for teaching us about jumping rope!

HOCO Week's CRAZY sock day was fun! Tomorrow is free HAT day! We can't wait to see you in your favorite hat! 🎩👒🧢🪖
