November 8, 2026

Dear PK8 Families,

It is such an honor to be part of a school community that values lifting one another up and supporting the town we call home. On Friday, students from across our building came together to rake thousands of leaves at Town Park, gather them into one giant pile, and, of course, enjoy the simple joy of jumping in! Along the way, they helped prepare the park for winter while providing the town with leaves that can be repurposed as mulch.

This annual tradition is truly a treasure. It is a wonderful reminder that learning extends beyond our classrooms and that even the simplest acts of service can make a meaningful difference in our community. We are so proud of our Eagles!

Veteran's Day

This Wednesday, we will continue a special, time-honored tradition at Paonia K8 with our annual Veterans Day Concert. Our students have been working hard to prepare a meaningful tribute, and we look forward to coming together as a school community to recognize and honor the veterans who have served our country and those who hold a special place in our lives.

We would love to include your veterans in our celebration! If you have a photo of a family member, friend, or loved one who has served, please share it with us so we can include them in our slideshow. We are grateful for the opportunity to honor their service and sacrifice and to help our students recognize the people behind the freedoms we enjoy.

Knowledge Bowl

We also want to celebrate Ms. Pizey (6th grade) and Mrs. Hebert (7th and 8th grade), and the exceptional students on their wins Thursday and Friday at Knowledge Bowl. 6th grade took 1st and 4th place, while 7th/8th took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Way to shine!

Strong Roots, Soaring Eagles! 🦅
