Mrs. Glessner’s Pre-K 4-year-olds were on a very important mission today! The Gingerbread Man went missing, and our little detectives searched all around PES to find him. With teamwork, listening ears, and lots of excitement, they finally tracked him down! Best of all, he was safely returned home in the end. What an adventure full of smiles, curiosity, and sweet success! Check out these adorable moments from our Gingerbread Man search below.

PES is diving into Holiday Spirit Week, and the building is already buzzing with festive energy. Holiday Spirit Week will be from Monday, 12/15, to Friday, 12/19. We will kick off things on Monday with Merry Monday Pajama Day, as students and staff cozied up in their warmest holiday PJs for a comfy start to the week. Tuesday brought out the sparkle with Holiday Headwear Day—the halls were filled with Santa hats, elf ears, menorah headbands, reindeer antlers, and every festive accessory imaginable. By Wednesday, the entire school transformed into a snowy scene for Winter Wonderland Whiteout Day, with everyone dressed in white, silver, and light blue to create a wintry vibe. On Thursday, things got loud and colorful for Deck the Halls & Sweater Day, featuring the funniest, ugliest, and most over-the-top holiday sweaters, complete with tinsel, ornaments, and garland. We’ll wrap it all up on Friday with Festive Characters Day, when students and staff arrive dressed as their favorite holiday or winter characters—from Santa and elves to snowmen, the Grinch, reindeer, and beyond.
