Our Staff Panther Hall of Fame welcomes Mrs. Ellis and Mrs. Harris! 🐾
⭐ Mrs. Ellis—for keeping our cafeteria running smoothly, hosting PES’s first Farm to School luncheon, and creating CCPS’s first elementary culinary club! She’s helping our young chefs build cooking skills, confidence, and safe kitchen habits.
⭐ Mrs. Harris—for nurturing our littlest Panthers and creating Little Makers Loose Parts Club, our first club for Pre-K through second grade! She’s giving our younger Panthers new ways to explore, build, and create.
Hats off to you both for going above and beyond for our Panthers! 🤠❤️
