PES kindergarteners had a blooming good time at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden last week as they ventured into the heart of nature, discovering the secrets of plants, their parts, and what they need to thrive while JKers enjoyed a special campus visit from CMPD officers Terry Weaver and Thomas Chidester (thank you!) as part of their community helpers unit. #pesfieldtripfriday
