Please help us give a warm welcome to Gisela Giles, one of our newest faculty members! Born and raised in Miami, FL, Mrs. Giles brings an exceptional background to PES. She studied aeronautical engineering and spent 21 years as a celebrity makeup artist, even teaching master classes in makeup and skincare for top beauty brands. ✨ After two years as a dedicated substitute at PES, we are thrilled to have her now leading our JK and Kindergarten Spanish classes. Mrs. Giles is especially looking forward to watching her students grow and thrive in their language skills this year. ✨ Outside of the classroom, Mrs. Giles is busy at home (or traveling the world) with her three wonderful children—Elie (15), Mila (6), and Meadow (3)—and their two adorable dogs, Mia (Yorkie) and Zuzu (Golden Retriever). ✨ We’re excited to see the impact Mrs. Giles will have as she shares her incredible gifts with our PES community! #pesteachertuesday

In this week’s Faith Studies lesson, our 2nd and 4th graders reflected on an important truth: God doesn’t judge by outward appearances, but, rather, by what’s in our hearts. 💙 . Using 1 Samuel 16:7, we were reminded that what truly matters is our kindness, our courage, and our willingness to help others. Through a fun activity, students decorated envelopes and filled them with qualities that reflect God’s goodness inside of us. It was a sweet reminder that what’s on the inside matters most, and we can all learn to see others the way God does. 💙 #PESMindfulMonday #PESFaithStudies #GrowingInGrace

A huge thank you to one of our amazing PES grandparent volunteers for giving our Little Free Library a fresh new look! ✨ Rebuilt and beautifully painted, it’s ready for even more stories to be shared. 📚 We encourage all of our families to stop by, take a book, and leave a gently used one for others to enjoy.#PESLittleFreeLibrary #PESThankfulThursday
