In keeping with a beloved PES tradition, Señora Rodriguez took our 8th graders out for a special Spanish lunch last week with one fun twist: they had to order everything en español! This joyful outing celebrates their hard work and growing confidence in a beautiful new language, and also the friendships and memories that have shaped their time at PES. We hope it’s a moment they’ll carry with them - one that marks the end of this chapter and the beginning of so many adventures yet to come!
