Our Career and Technical Education Department is partnering with Pam and Jane Bliss from Elitsac, Inc. in Castile to educate our students about the rewarding programs within the construction industry. Through the Toolbox Project, 5th graders will be working with members of our Operations and Maintenance staff, along with community members who work in the building trades, to construct their own toolboxes. Mrs. Brant’s 8th grade technology students have used their skills to create 54 kits that will be used for the project. We’re excited for this collaboration and the opportunity for our students to connect with local skilled trade workers. #PrideInTheHive
Hannah Rowley and Sawyer West have been in Albany with Mrs. Huttar advocating for agricultural education. The pair spent Monday in workshops and round-table discussions learning about our state government, legislature, and policies surrounding the agriculture industry and Ag education.
Yesterday, Hannah and Sawyer visited with state legislators to share how Ag education has impacted them. They made cold calls to representatives without Ag education programs, as well as visited with Assemblywoman Andrea Bailey and Senator George Borrello.
We’re so proud of Hannah and Sawyer for not only representing PCS, but also using their voices to advocate for Ag education! #PrideInTheHive

Thank you to Val and Adam from Yummies Ice Cream in Warsaw for visiting with our 3rd graders today! While giving students a behind-the-scenes look at the ice cream making process, the pair introduced Yummies' Sweet 16 competition. Each student will submit an ice cream flavor, starting with a base flavor and adding swirls and mix ins like sprinkles or candy. The top 16 will be unveiled next month and a winner will be named in April. The funds raised during the competition will be donated to the winning school's Snack Pack Program. The winning flavor will be scooped all season at Yummies.
We think it's time to bring that winning flavor to PCS...along with some bragging rights! We'll keep you posted on how you can cast your vote as the competition gets underway. #PrideInTheHive

Our Odyssey of the Mind teams have been hard at work preparing for this weekend's Regional Competition! There was so much interest in the program, which gives students an opportunity to be creative problem-solvers, that four teams needed to be formed this year. We wish our OMers, along with Coaches Shaun and Cassandra Gilbert, the best of luck!!! #PrideInTheHive
When Assemblywoman Andrea Bailey reached out to PES in need of Valentine's Day cards for the Wyoming County Office for the Aging, Mrs. Adolf's elementary art students took on the challenge! Students are finishing up their heartfelt cards, which will be distributed to senior citizens throughout our county. #PrideInTheHive
Last week, our 5th graders became D.A.R.E. graduates! Mr. Masci, Officer Spink, Superintendent McLaughlin, Mrs. Kettle, and Mrs. Irons joined in celebrating these students completing the 10-week program. While D.A.R.E. is widely recognized as an anti-drug program, it has evolved to help students with decision-making, bullying, internet safety, mental and emotional health, and much more. Congratulations to the D.A.R.E. essay winners Clara Sealy, Elijah Wolcott, and Chace Gregory. #PrideInTheHive
Mrs. Kramell's 9th grade English students have been working all week with Gretchen Didio, an actor and educator from Shakespeare in Delaware Park, through the Arts for Learning partnership. After reading "Romeo and Juliet," students are diving deeper into the text by learning and performing specific scenes. Didio is helping them focus on vocal energy, movement, stage presence, and much more. #PrideInTheHive
Our 5th and 6th grade teachers are partnering with outreach educators from Tim Hortons Foundation Camps to bring a fun and educational experience to students over the next five weeks. The new program, called Tims Camp, is financed completely by the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation, and aims to provide children with a similar experience they receive while attending a Tim Hortons summer camp. Once a week, students will participate in fun lessons and activities that will help create a sense of community, build self-confidence and self-awareness, encourage problem solving, promote positive communication, and much more. We’re excited for this incredible opportunity to help our students grow and flourish – and have a lot of fun!
Mrs. Adolf and Ms. Hankey have wasted no time getting their art students back into the swing of things after Winter Break.
For Mrs. Adolf’s kindergartners, the last lesson in the color unit was creating a color wheel with frosting! Each student got a plate with primary colored frosting that they had to mix with secondary colors, and then they also created tertiary colors. Of course, after the lesson was finished, students could indulge in the sweet treat.
Ms. Hankey had fun with Mrs. Totsline’s and Mrs. Leavy’s students on collaborative abstract artwork that was created by pulling each other across paper using markers. #PrideInTheHive

Our 8th graders have a need...a need for speed! Mrs. Brant's technology students are testing out their CO2 cars to determine the fastest competitors for this year's Tech Wars, which will be held in March at GCC. #PrideInTheHive
Do you remember being in elementary school and finding that one book or books that you just couldn’t put down? We witnessed that this morning as Mrs. Smith’s 4th graders read Gary Paulsen’s “Hatchet” together as a class. #PrideInTheHive
We love it when an idea comes together! Student Austin Johnson is finishing up his independent project for Ag Mechanics - a shelf that he'll gift a loved one as a belated Christmas present. The sophomore is bringing his original idea, which started as just a sketch, to life. #PrideInTheHive
Our 5th graders had a blast kicking off their ELA module 2 before winter break. Students will be reading the book “The Phantom Tollbooth” by Norton Juster, which is a fantasy adventure novel that follows Milo, a bored boy who finds himself thrust into a world of imagination and wordplay. Students visited their very own Phantom Café on Dec. 17 and enjoyed snacks based on the book’s theme. Thank you to the Perry PTSA for providing the funds to purchase the snacks and beverages! #PrideInTheHive
Before winter break, our High School Stand Up Club, with the help of Mrs. Marusarz and Santa, passed out hot chocolate to students during lunch periods. The kind gesture provided some festive fun to students and school personnel. The club continues to help spread inclusivity and positivity in both buildings! #PrideInTheHive
Thank you to law enforcement officers from Wyoming County Sheriff's Office and Perry and Warsaw Police Departments for meeting us yesterday at Warsaw Walmart. We had several students who couldn't attend Shop with a Cop on Dec. 6 and, thanks to these officers, Mrs. Statler, and Officer Spink, the special occasion was not missed. #PrideInTheHive
We're very proud of the work Ms. Jaques, Mrs. Pries, and Mrs. Royce's students put into learning the lines from "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Their recorded performance will be sent to all of their friends at PES as a special treat before winter break. #PrideInTheHive
This week, each of our UPK-6 classes will have a pizza party thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. This same individual provided funds that made it possible for us to purchase an age-appropriate game or toy for each of our elementary students. We are so very thankful for the thoughtfulness of this individual. Our students are so lucky to live in such a wonderful community!
We also have to give a shoutout to Mrs. Bogle, Ms. Koson, and Ms. Kowasz in the District Office, as well as our Elementary PPT team, for helping to facilitate this special gesture. #PrideInTheHive

There's no one more eager to see an end to the 6 7 craze than jr. high or middle school staff in every single school district. So, in honor of our 67th Day of School, our JH team had some fun! #PrideInTheHive
Santa, hot cocoa, cookie decorating, arts and crafts - Sensory Santa was a huge success on Friday! This is always a special event where our students and their families can have holiday fun in a sensory-friendly setting.
