🐾❤️ Level Complete, Mr. Angeloni! ❤️🐾 Today, our Panthers had one more special surprise before summer break! Students and staff lined the hallways with cheers, signs, hugs, and lots of love to show Mr. Angeloni just how much he means to our school family. From our youngest Panthers to our rising middle schoolers, everyone came together to celebrate him as he completed this chapter at PES and prepares to begin a new adventure at Greensboro Elementary School. Thank you, Mr. Angeloni, for the encouragement, laughter, high-fives, and countless memories you’ve shared with our students and staff. Your impact on PES will be felt for years to come, and we know you’ll do amazing things on your next level. Once a Panther, always a Panther. 🐾❤️ #PantherPride #LevelComplete #PESFamily #OnceAPantherAlwaysAPanther
