One of our favorite events of the entire year is our Christmas and Holiday Staff Sing-a-Long! Our entire PES Panther family sung all of our favorite carols, danced our hearts out, and enjoyed this moment before we leave for the holidays! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🏻❄️🌲🎄 #PESPantherpride











Nothing says holiday spirit like a little ugly sweater magic! 🎄✨ PES was festive and fabulous today! #UglySweaterDay #HolidaySpiritWeek











Mrs. Ireland’s Pre-K 4 class is enjoying their winter fun! Here they are working on Christmas activities in play centers. They created snowmen and played snowmen bowling, created Holiday or Christmas art in creativity centers, and also made Christmas cards in writers corner! They also played a fun game in gym called: Turning on the Christmas Lights! Rolling dice and counting to know which light to turn on or off makes math a fun part of physical activity! #PESPantherpride
