Talk with Mrs. Zaino about PES and you’ll hear an immediate warmth. There’s a deep appreciation for the way this school encourages confidence, imagination, and a love of learning in every child. The music room is just one place where that growth takes root, but it’s felt across the entire campus.
💙
Giving to the PES Fund is her way of honoring that mission. It reflects a belief in the programs, the people, and the everyday moments that make this community feel like home. It’s a quiet expression of gratitude for a place where children are known, supported, and inspired.

Veterans Day Chapel is always one of the most meaningful mornings of the year at PES, and today felt especially moving. Each grade shared a thoughtful performance that honored the branches of our military, and the pride in the room was unmistakable.
We are deeply grateful for the veterans who joined us and for every man and woman who has served our country with such steadiness and courage. Their sacrifice makes it possible for our children to learn and grow in a place that values both faith and freedom, and we don’t take that for granted.
A heartfelt thank-you to our students and teachers for the care they put into every song, reading, and tribute. Their work created a beautiful service that reflected the heart of our school: love of God, love of country, and gratitude for those who protect the freedoms we enjoy.
We are thankful for this community and for the opportunity to honor our brave veterans together.
