Our 5th grade students time traveled today in the footsteps of Harriet Tubman along one of the most famously trafficked stretches of her Underground Railroad in Caroline County. In a string of visits to three historical sites in the area, they toured Linchester Mill in Preston (one of the oldest operating mills in the United States), the James Webb Cabin on Grove Rd. in Preston, and the William Still Interpretive Center at the 4-H Park in Denton. Students were guided by their 5th grade teachers, members of The Caroline County Historical Society, and Friends of Linchester Mill to learn about the history of each site. Thank you to the Caroline County Historical Society, Linchester Mill, parents and chaperones, and 5th grade teachers for making this an amazing experience 🫶🏻🤎

After seeing our 5th graders so engaged with science, our Kindergarten Panthers did not want to be outdone! Our young Panthers are working together to build a structure where no push or pull is needed to move our cars forward! Learning about motion and physics at such an early age! #pespantherpride
Today in 5th grade science our Panthers created a food web using yarn to show the flow of energy from one organism to another. Each student held a different card, either a producer, a consumer or a decomposer to represent the order in which energy is transferred. #pespantherpride
PES would like to send our deepest thanks to the Denton Rotary Club and Shore United Bank for their generous donation to our 3rd graders at PES for the Fall Book Fair.

Thank you for supporting our Panthers! #pespantherpride

Today PES celebrated Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed. In the pictures below, you can see our school ofrenda created from the pictures of departed loved ones our students brought in, and also some of the activities that our students did today for the Day of the Dead. Thank you especially to Mrs. Elin and Mrs. Carroll, and our classroom teachers, for helping our students create such meaningful memories on this day! #pespantherpride
What a fantastic day for a field trip to Adkins Arboretum! Our Pre-K 4 Panthers enjoyed learning about local environment with their teachers! Those smiles tell the whole story! #pespantherpride

A soooky good time was had by all panthers big and small this morning at PES for our Halloween parade 🧡🖤 Thank you to our amazing Grandparent’s committee & Preston Panther PTO for the goodie bags, Preston ford for bringing treats, and all of our families for coming out to help celebrate our Halloween tradition 🎃
Halloween activities will be held on October 31, 2023. Important: In the event of inclement weather (rain) we will be holding an indoor parade, that due to lack of available space, would be for staff and students only. We will text all families at 7:30 AM tomorrow if that is the case. The forecast looks like it will stay dry (yay!) but it will be colder than it has been so we recommend students wear warmer clothes under their costumes. Please see the email to all parents today or our newsletter for all PES Halloween Celebration information.
Academic night fun continued for these lucky students whose tickets were pulled in our highly anticipated book raffle 🎟️ What a wonderful selection of books students could choose to bid on. Thank you again to students and families for coming out Tuesday night to kick off our One School One Book journey with Humphrey 🐹🫶🏻 Happy reading everyone!! 📚
