Penny War ends a FUN Week

We had a FUN week at PES! The Penny War highlighted the fun, as each morning students brought their change and bombed each other's classrooms. It was a back and forth battle, but in the end it was Mrs. Horstman's class that was the champion. They waited until the end and had a big final day to seal the win. Overall, we raised $2839.21, which we will use to send out "Live to Give" appreciation baskets to local businesses in town. Each class will select a business that they'd like to thank and our student council will help organize a basket to send out. Our community does so much for the school that we thought this would be a good time to say thank you to them!

On Thursday, the FFA put on the Petting Zoo. Members of the club brought in animals and our students had the opportunity to see a horse, cow, sheep, goats, chickens, bunnies, and a cat. Along with seeing the animals, students also had a chance to learn some interesting facts about animals and the FFA Club.

Finally, please continue to monitor your children for signs of sickness. We had a rough week with students missing school. There is a lot of junk going around. Please be diligent in washing hands and talking to kids about covering if they feel a sneeze or cough coming on. I'm hopeful that the weekend allowed everyone a chance to recover and we start the week fresh with everyone in attendance. However, if your child is sick, please keep them home to stop the spread of germs. Also, if your student is going to miss, please call the school and let Kristy or Julie know that your child will be absent.
