In celebration of Earth Day, PES 7th graders created & performed a skit for the entire student body on ways to be leaders in preserving the earth, 1st graders made Earth Day hats and enjoyed a math activity about recycling, and kindergarteners created Earth Day-inspired sidewalk art. #pesmindfulmonday

Congratulations to this 7th grader for being recognized as April Athlete of the Month. He is a cross country runner, a starter on the basketball team, and captain of the golf squad. His leadership on the golf course has been monumental to the development of our young squad and his willingness to commit to multiple PES sports teams makes him an invaluable athlete. Thank you to our partner Creekside Smiles for sponsoring our Athlete of the Month program! #pesthankfulthursday
