📚✨ Magic Tree House Book Club Update! ✨📚
Our community school–funded Magic Tree House Book Club just wrapped up Night of the Ninjas, and we celebrated with a fun LEGO crossover event inspired by the story. Books + creativity = a perfect match.
Next week, our readers are heading on a brand-new adventure as we begin the next book in the series: Afternoon on the Amazon 🌿🐒
We can’t wait to explore, imagine, and read together as the journey continues!
Thank you for supporting literacy, imagination, and joyful learning in our school community.
Our mornings are building something special 🧱📚
Thanks to funding from our Community Schools Program, students are starting their day in Lego Book Club, where stories come to life through creativity, collaboration, and some seriously impressive Lego designs. From imaginative structures to problem-solving masterpieces, our students are designing, building, and thinking big—together.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Ackerson for sponsoring this club and helping create a space where literacy and creativity snap perfectly into place. This is learning you can build on.
🎮✨ LEVEL UP, PANTHERS! ✨🎮
These K–5 reading rockstars leveled up in Lexia last week! ⭐📖

Keep reading, keep growing, and keep leveling up! 🐾📚 ❤️
💖✨ PES Sweethearts Ball ✨💖 The PTO invites our PES students to a magical evening of dancing, fun, and memories! Each student may attend with one special adult “sweetheart”—a parent, guardian, or another cherished adult. This will be a chance to dress up, dance, and enjoy a night made just for our PES community! This will be a FREE event with pizza & refreshments and will take place on Friday, February 6th, from 6:00–7:30 PM. Please RSVP by January 30th using the QR code on the flyer (or return the bottom portion of the invitation that will be sent home). We can’t wait to see our students shine on the dance floor! ✨💕
