One Purpose. Your Pathway. Our Promise.

Dear Lewiston-Porter Primary Education Center Families,

It truly feels wonderful to have the school year underway. I am energized to have the opportunity to serve as the PEC Principal for my 16th year. As we begin the 2025-2026 school year at the Primary Education Center, we are committed to our mission, One Purpose. Your Pathway. Our Promise. Our purpose is to ensure that when students leave Lewiston-Porter, they will be ready to face the world with confidence in themselves and what they can accomplish. While students are here, they will be challenged to grow along their pathway and discover their personal best because we promise to give them our best every day. We are a school that prioritizes children.

We are inviting our entire school community to join us in celebrating our new school theme: Shine Your Light. We kicked off our theme with a whole-school assembly Ribbon Cutting ceremony. Then we will follow with Spirit Week. We have already begun to teach our students the 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey through children's literature. Students are also guided by their teachers to Drop Everything and Lead (DEAL) to support their social-emotional growth. DEAL is a daily learning block that focuses on developing the habits of a successful learner and leader. Please ask your child about the habits and how they can apply these habits at home, school, and in play to be their best self.

We had an incredible turnout of over 70 families for our Volunteer Orientation at the PEC Parent Night. Our volunteer program will begin in October. We are excited to have parent volunteers in our school supporting our early childhood mission.

We are looking forward to a special year at the PEC. It is truly a privilege to be part of a community where parents, teachers, and students care for one another and strive to build positive relationships that support both academic and social-emotional growth.

The week of September 29 - October 3 will be Spirit Week 2025-2026. Check out the schedule of the Spirit Week themed days in our PEC calendar. Spirit week includes all students and all staff. Let’s have some fun! Get your LP Spirit on! GO LANCERS!!!

Warmly yours,

Mrs. Tamara Larson

Principal, Primary Education Center
