It's Staff Appreciation Week!
Our school simply wouldn’t run without the dedication and heart of our incredible staff. From the classroom to the front office, on the playground, and behind the scenes, they work tirelessly to support students, families, and one another each day. We are so grateful for their hard work, care, and commitment to making our school a safe, welcoming, and joyful place for children to learn and grow. Let's take this week to thank all our amazing staff members.
REMINDER: While your teachers will always appreciate your appreciation, TEACHER APPRECIATION is in May (it''s a nationally recognized week). Next week is specifically for our other staff.
Nuestra escuela simplemente no funcionaría sin la dedicación y el compromiso de nuestro increíble personal. Desde las aulas hasta la oficina principal, en el patio de recreo y detrás de bambalinas, trabajan incansablemente para apoyar a los estudiantes, las familias y entre sí cada día. Estamos muy agradecidos por su arduo trabajo, su cariño y su compromiso para hacer de nuestra escuela un lugar seguro, acogedor y alegre donde los niños puedan aprender y crecer. Dediquemos esta semana a agradecer a todos nuestros maravillosos miembros del personal.
RECORDATORIO: Si bien sus maestros siempre agradecerán su reconocimiento, la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros es en mayo (es una semana reconocida a nivel nacional). La próxima semana está dedicada específicamente al resto de nuestro personal.

Global Day of Play Coming Soon!
We’re excited to celebrate our upcoming Global Day of Play, a special day when students will enjoy unstructured, screen-free play during the school day. This is a time for kids to imagine, build, collaborate, problem-solve, and—most importantly—just be kids! Research highlighted in The Anxious Generation reminds us that free play is a powerful way for children to build confidence, resilience, and strong social skills. When students have the freedom to create their own games and solve their own problems, they grow in ways that support both learning and well-being. We can’t wait to see the creativity, laughter, and joy this day will bring!

THE TALENT SHOW IS BACK!
Parents, this year instead of having two simultaneous talent shows (one hosted by PHES and one hosted by the PHHS Dance Team), Mr. Fry and Mrs. Olsen-Baker have JOINED FORCES for one, united program. All ticket sales will benefit the PHHS Dance Team.
If you have a kiddo who wants to perform, be at the High School cafeteria on February 17th at 3:30pm.
Padres, este año, en lugar de dos concursos de talentos simultáneos (uno organizado por PHES y otro por el equipo de baile de PHHS), el Sr. Fry y la Sra. Olsen-Baker han unido fuerzas para crear un único programa conjunto. La recaudación de la venta de entradas se destinará al equipo de baile de PHHS.
Si su hijo/a desea participar, acérquese a la cafetería de la escuela secundaria el 17 de febrero a las 15:30.
Breakfast and Lunch Menus
Students have been asking the question can I bring my own recess equipment from home? The answer is no. We ask that students leave all their footballs, soccer balls, wall balls, jump ropes, etc at home. But great news we have recess equipment for each grade level. Each grade level has their own recess cart that goes out at their recess time. However as you can imagine some items get lost over time. If you would like to purchase items to help refill our recess carts we would appreciate it. Thanks

Last year, Providence Hall students had over $6,000 in unpaid lunch balances. Every family’s journey is unique, but together we can make a big difference! Your donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward reducing student lunch debt across all three schools. Help us make sure every Patriot has a healthy meal and the energy to learn and succeed. Join our No-Fuss Fundraiser and help support our students. Every dollar fills a tray and fuels a mind! Click on the photo above or on this link https://sfnd.io/qnjw5 to make a donation. Thank you.
