Our 3rd graders have been busy bringing learning to life through their capstone project: dioramas of animal habitats! After researching their chosen animals, students thoughtfully selected materials and created incredible displays to share with classmates and families. Projects like this spark curiosity and confidence while strengthening skills in public speaking, planning, creativity, research, reading, writing, and collaboration. Most of all, they inspire students to think deeply, make connections, and take pride in their learning. 3rd graders, we are so proud of your creativity, effort, and understanding of animal habitats. Thank you for teaching our PES community in such a fun and meaningful way! ... See MoreSee Less

Our 3rd graders spent a joyful morning at a local senior living community, the first of many visits planned for this year. It was heartwarming to see faces light up on both sides as students and residents shared stories, laughter, and creativity.

Together, they made festive paper pumpkins to decorate the residents’ rooms for the season. Moments like these show what makes our community so special, as students discover that joy multiplies when it’s shared and that service has a way of blessing the giver as much as the receiver
