PES 1st graders had fun hunting for shadows on campus while studying sources and concepts of light and JKers enjoyed exploring Discovery Place Kids museum in Huntersville last week! #pesmindfulmonday
PES is thankful to offer such vibrant art & enrichment opportunities, with teachers who challenge and inspire students to be bold, creative and try new things! Our 7th & 8th graders have been creating still life masterpieces by adding value and color to create the illusion of form, while various students in grades K-4 have started group piano lessons after school. #pesthankfulthursday
Our new after school golf enrichment class has been a huge hit at PES! Students in grades K-6 have been learning the fundamentals of golf while also getting great exercise, with professional instruction that focuses on the short game, putting, driving and more!
