Perry Central School District

PES is kicking off Reading Festival Week with a ton of fun activities! Whether they're walking through the hallways, in art class, or seated in their classrooms, our students have to be prepared for surprise DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time. We caught some of our kindergartners enjoying a "Pete the Cat" book with Ms. VonGunden during PE class this morning. #PrideInTheHive
