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

We always suspected that Officer Spink was a spy for Santa...and now we know! #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. Thank you to the Inclusion Committee, the volunteers who donated their time, food, supplies, and more, the HS and JH Stand Up Clubs, Ms. Reding, Mrs. Warriner and the Honeycomb Cafe, the Muolo Family, and Jes Purvis and the Perry Public Library! #PrideInTheHive
Today, our HS students were treated to an educational adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet” by actors from Shakespeare in Delaware Park. The show is being performed in schools throughout WNY to celebrate the theatre company’s 50th anniversary season and introduce audiences to the work of William Shakespeare. Over the last five decades, Shakespeare in Delaware Park has been committed to providing free, high-quality theatre to audiences. Our students have been fortunate to work with these talented actors and educators over the past many years.
In addition to the free performance, junior English Honors students participated in an acting workshop with Gretchen Didio, an actress and educator for Shakespeare in Delaware Park. Following the "Romeo and Juliet" performance, the actors provided a talk-back session to allow our students to ask questions. #PrideInTheHive

The HS select chorus, with Ms. Privatera, and the HS jazz band, with Mr. Hirsch, were honored to visit Perry Rotary this afternoon to perform their annual holiday concert. The student-musicians were phenomenal! #PrideInTheHive
One of our favorite holiday traditions at PES is the UPK's legendary hunt for the Gingerbread Man. This elusive creature has been evading classes for years, but not before sending them on a wild goose chase around the building. Today was the big day...and our students were ready! #PrideInTheHive
Willy Wonka famously said "The suspense is terrible...I hope it lasts."
But, for the nearly 50 cast and crew members of Drama Club's production of "Willy Wonka," the suspense is over! The group finally got to conduct a read-through of the script, and musical rehearsals begin this week. We're so excited! #PrideInTheHive

That's a wrap on the first day of the Perry PTSA's Holiday Gift Shop! Students had a blast today finding special gifts for their loved ones. Thank you to the volunteers! #PrideInTheHive
Miss Stephanie visited our UPKers this morning to share an Ag in the Classroom lesson on Santa's biggest helpers - not elves - but reindeer! Students made reindeer food to sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve to help Rudolph and the crew find their houses. The lesson also included taste-testing white and chocolate milks, and deciding which they would leave out for Santa. Of course, students received some cookies for dunking! #PrideInTheHive
On Saturday, 18 of our elementary students had the opportunity to participate in the annual Shop with a Cop event at Warsaw Walmart. Thanks to the Wyoming County Sheriff's Foundation, Inc. and local donations, each child received $75 to spend on anything in the store. Members of the Warsaw and Attica FFA chapters had fun activities set up for participants, and Santa even visited! Thank you to all who continue to work to make this a special event for students in our county, including countless members of local law enforcement, Warsaw Walmart, the WCSF and generous donors, and many more! #PrideInTheHive
Life is filled with choices. During today's D.A.R.E. lesson with 7th graders, Mr. Masci asked students to discuss their short-term and long-term goals. One student wants to work at McDonald's when old enough, another hopes to join the NBA, another wants to go to college. Mr. Masci reminded students that their choices today have consequences that directly impact their goals. D.A.R.E. isn't just about drug and violence prevention, and also includes lessons that guide students into good decision-making. #PrideInTheHive
Wow! Mrs. Emerson's HS Ceramics students studied Greek pottery before setting out to create their own vessels. They added "sgraffito," the decorative technique of scratching a surface to expose the under layer. Thanks to Xander and Aidan for sharing their work. #PrideInTheHive
Mrs. Peace is offering free Makers' Market Workshops to HS students again this holiday season. Yesterday, during 10th period in the Sr. High Library, students had the opportunity to make handmade felt ornaments. The next projects will include clay ornaments and faux stained glass. These sessions are a new holiday tradition that have attracted a faithful following among students. #PrideInTheHive
After learning about polymers, monomers, and the complex chemistry of plastics, Mrs. Consler's 8th grade science students set out to make their own. They used milk, white vinegar, and cheesecloth to create casein plastic, one of the first types introduced into mainstream production. #PrideInTheHive
We love seeing our UPKers so excited about their new books in library that they immediately ask Ms. Wilkie to read them! #PrideInTheHive
On Friday, Mrs. Borek's 3rd graders each created a Thanksgiving Spoon of Thanks. The goal is to have students pass the spoon around their Thanksgiving tables, allowing each guest the opportunity to share what they are thankful for this holiday season. Hopefully, this little tradition will help families feel thankful, connected, and full of happy memories each Thanksgiving. #PrideInTheHive
Our 2nd graders are celebrating Thanksgiving in style! Students and adults are marking the upcoming holiday by wearing their "fancy" clothes today and eating lunch together in their classrooms. To top it off, they have the opportunity to enjoy the traditional turkey dinner prepared by our food service staff! #PrideInTheHive
We caught our indoor track and field teams taking to the halls last night during practice. Coach Ohlson and Coach Evans have 45 student-athletes competing this season. With four individual Section V champs crowned last year, we're excited to see what this group can do!!! #PrideInTheHive
Thank you for the overwhelming response to our Stuff the Turkey Thanksgiving Food Drive! Tomorrow (11/14), the final day, is dedicated to bringing in canned goods like broth, gravy, applesauce, veggies, and cranberry sauce. Of course, if you'd like to bring in starches or baking ingredients, items that were collected yesterday and today, we won't turn those away. Together, we can ensure that all of our families have a happy holiday season. #PrideInTheHive
