Congratulations to this PES 8th grade lifer for being named September's Athlete of the Month! This student has always shown great commitment to multiple PES teams over the years, and as an 8th grader this year, he's stepped into a leadership role on the Cross Country Team. He's also always first in line, with a voice of encouragement and support to his teammates. Thank you to our partner Creekside Smiles for sponsoring this program! #pesthankfulthursday #pespartners
PES Kindergarten students planted radish seeds as part of their plant unit while 1st graders created landscapes in art that were inspired by Monet's famous tulip fields in Holland. #peswellnesswednesday
Happy #pesteachertuesday! Today we are recognizing our amazing music director Keri Zaino. Keri has been teaching for over 20 years, and this is her 14th year at PES. This summer, she traveled all over Europe for five weeks and even retraced some of Mozart’s steps. She was also excited to share that her daughter Bella graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology this past year. One of Keri’s recent accomplishments is completing the NCAIS Resilient Leader Institute and composing/writing our new PES school song as a surprise for our Head of School. She is especially excited this year for the Middle School Music Lab project!
