Spring sports season at PES wrapped up with grit, grace, and lots of Gryphon pride! Our Golf team finished an undefeated season—5-0 as a team and undefeated in individual matches, clinching the CGAA Championship in style. Our Flag Football team wrapped up their season with a perfect 10-0 record, earning the CGAA Championship title through focus, teamwork, and determination. And while our Tennis team faced tough competition this spring, they showed up with heart, growing in skill and friendship every step of the way. Their sportsmanship was a true reflection of the PES spirit.

Big steps and bright beginnings! ✨ Last week marked the start of an exciting new chapter for our 4th graders as they took part in their very first “Move-Up Day” to middle school. They kicked off the day with team-building games led by two of our amazing 7th grade classroom cadets, who modeled leadership and helped set a welcoming tone. This is just the beginning of a thoughtful, multi-part transition process designed to help our rising 5th graders feel confident, connected, and ready to thrive in middle school. We’re so proud of the leaders they are becoming—and so grateful to our 7th grade cadets for showing them the way.
