Ernie Pyle Elementary ~ June 2023
Message from the Principal - May 31, 2024
Hello Pyle Families,
This week students in first grade enjoyed our on campus learning activity, Bubblemania. They were excited to see all of the exciting activities during the presentation. Students who were on time to school from April 15, to May 15, were invited to the No Tardy Party with the principal. Thank you for helping your students be on time each day that they attend school. Thursday, twelfth-grade graduates from Bellflower High School who promoted from Ernie Pyle visited us to share advice, and accolades, and play in our 6th-grade vs. 12th-grade kickball game. Thursday afternoon, our upper-grade students were recognized for some awesome academic achievements in our Awards assembly. This morning students in grades TK-4th Grade showed off their musical talents in the spring ETMLA musical performance. Thank you families for supporting us all year long.
Next week is a short week with our last day of school on Wednesday. Monday we will celebrate our Kindergarteners in Kinderbration, Tuesday our TK students will be recognized for an amazing year of learning, and Wednesday is our 6th grade promotion. Please reach out to your student's teacher for specific details and times of grade-level activities.
Attention Think Together Families:
