We’re so excited to introduce our October Artists of the Month at PES!
🎨
Our Middle School Artist of the Month wowed us with a beautiful “All About Me” composition, using bold colors and lots of detail to make her piece stand out. The creativity and skill on display are absolutely amazing!
🎨
Our Lower School Artist of the Month created a fun and thoughtful design using words to describe her personality. The combination of words and art made this project something truly special.

Congratulations to both of our talented artists—keep creating and inspiring! Our deepest thanks to @pleasantmillsmiles for sponsoring this program! #pesartistofthemonth

Picture days are almost here,
Smiles ready, full of cheer!
October 3rd and 4th, mark the spot,
Don’t forget, it’ll mean a lot!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Uniforms crisp, hair in place,
We can’t wait to see your smiling face!
Say “cheese” and strike a pose,
It’s time to capture how each student grows.
