Today in Mrs. Watson’s 2nd grade class, our young engineers took on the challenge of building structures to protect land from water! 🌊🏗️ After planning and creating their designs, it was time for the big test—and let’s just say the before-and-after pictures tell quite the story 😂 Some structures stood strong, others… not so much! Through all the splashes and smiles, students learned about teamwork, problem-solving, and how to keep improving their ideas. We’re so proud of our creative thinkers!

Lindsey McCormick, CCPS Director of CTE, had the opportunity to visit PES alongside Courtney Handte for the Empowerment, Excellence, and Leadership Club! We explored CCPS Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs through hands-on activities that brought each pathway to life. Students built marshmallow towers (Construction/Engineering), practiced braiding (Cosmetology), learned about animals and their byproducts (Agriculture), and bandaged stuffed animals (Academy of Health). They also decorated cookies (Food & Beverage Management) and asked thoughtful questions about different programs of study. It was great to see students so engaged, curious, and excited about their future possibilities!

We were thrilled to celebrate so many of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who have earned their Math Licenses for mastering all of their multiplication facts — an impressive accomplishment that takes hard work, focus, and determination! We had the pleasure of surprising and congratulating Lachlan, Olivia, Jeremy, Russell, Joel, Charlie, Nathan, Jordan, Jamari, Kingsley, Blake, Alayna, and Jonathan. Their dedication to building fluency sets a strong example for Panthers across the school. Keep up the amazing work — and we can’t wait to celebrate even more students as they earn their licenses this year! 🎉📚✖️
