Our Pre-K 4-year-old classes had an fantastically fun day out at Cabin Fever Play Centre! 🧸✨From climbing and sliding to laughing and exploring, our youngest learners showed curiosity, confidence, and big smiles every step of the way. Experiences like these help build social skills, independence, and joyful memories that last far beyond the classroom. A huge thank you to our staff and families for helping make this adventure possible—learning really is more fun when it’s hands-on! 🎉🚌

📚✨ Magic Tree House Book Club Update! ✨📚
Our community school–funded Magic Tree House Book Club just wrapped up Night of the Ninjas, and we celebrated with a fun LEGO crossover event inspired by the story. Books + creativity = a perfect match.
Next week, our readers are heading on a brand-new adventure as we begin the next book in the series: Afternoon on the Amazon 🌿🐒
We can’t wait to explore, imagine, and read together as the journey continues!
Thank you for supporting literacy, imagination, and joyful learning in our school community.
Our mornings are building something special 🧱📚
Thanks to funding from our Community Schools Program, students are starting their day in Lego Book Club, where stories come to life through creativity, collaboration, and some seriously impressive Lego designs. From imaginative structures to problem-solving masterpieces, our students are designing, building, and thinking big—together.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Ackerson for sponsoring this club and helping create a space where literacy and creativity snap perfectly into place. This is learning you can build on.

Holiday Spirit Week wrapped up in the most festive way with Day Five: Dress Like a Holiday Character Day! From Santas and elves to reindeer and other favorite characters, our building was full of holiday magic. The celebration continued with holiday parties in classrooms across the school, bringing students together for fun, laughter, and sweet memories. A perfect ending to a joyful week—thank you to everyone who helped make Holiday Spirit Week so special!
Holiday cheer filled the air at PES during our annual Sing-A-Long! Mr. List led our students in all the holiday classics as voices, smiles, and school spirit came together. It was a joyful celebration that truly captured the magic of the season—and a reminder that we celebrate the holidays like only PES can. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for making this tradition so special!
