Families! It's time to stock up on more library books for Winter break during Family Checkout Week December 15-18! This will be a time where adults can visit the library with their MES students and pick out books together! Adults will each be able to pick out up to 10 additional library books and check them out under their account. No need to fill out any forms, just show up with your MES student.


Time will be 7:05-7:30 before school starts. All students with adults may enter through the library outside door (Door 2). No need to badge in at the front. Adults will be asked to leave through that door as well, and students will go to class when the bell rings.


Monday, December 15th: Last names S-Z

Tuesday, December 16th: Last names M-R

Wednesday, December 17th: Last names G-L

Thursday, December 18th: Last names A-F


Books can be returned after Winter break, either directly from your student, or placed on the cart that will be placed at the front foyer of the school.


Hope to see you soon in the library!

PfISD Coins for a Cause PfISD Coins for a Cause

The Central Texas Food Bank reports an “unsustainable” level of need, with operating costs now exceeding $1.3 million per month. Monetary donations are especially effective; just $10 provides about 40 meals through their retail and bulk purchasing partnerships.


This effort builds on the incredible work of Aramark, which continues to support the district’s holiday food drive. As Aramark helps collect non-perishable food, PfISD will focus on raising monetary donations to help the Food Bank stretch every dollar to feed more families.


Each campus will collect coins and dollar donations from November 13 – December 17 in Pf Cares buckets.
