We are so proud to share the story of Krish Verma, a PES alum and now a freshman at Palisades High, who is already following his dreams as a sportscaster! Recently, Krish had the incredible opportunity to interview NFL legend Jonathan Stewart of the Carolina Panthers on his very own podcast!
At PES, we love telling the stories of our students as they discover their passions and pursue their dreams, and Krish’s journey is another inspiring reminder of what’s possible. From a love of sports and storytelling to sharing the mic with legends — he’s just getting started!

First grade has been buzzing with festive fun and meaningful learning this week! From candy cane-themed science experiments to designing Christmas tree ornaments inspired by simple machines, these activities have sparked creativity and curiosity while seamlessly tying into the curriculum.
The students also read The Giving Snowman, a heartwarming story about kindness and helping others in need. They loved working together to brainstorm ways to spread joy and make a difference during the holiday season.
It’s truly magical to see learning come alive with joy and purpose, especially during this special time of year.
