We promise you won't see anything more adorable than our Kindergartners today!

Safety Committee members all come to the table with different backgrounds, perspectives, and expertise but, in the end, their overall goal is the same – to keep our students, families, visitors, and facilities safe every single day. Safety protocols, implementation of emergency procedures, and incident response plans start at this table. We’re all in this together. #PrideInTheHive

To say it was just a day of play is putting it simply. It was a day to work as a team, communicate, compromise with friends, socialize, be silly, get lost in the excitement, explore, be imaginative, learn about others, create, skip, laugh, pretend. The benefits of today’s Global School Play Day were evident throughout PES. For the 4th consecutive year, our students (and adults) detached from electronics and got lost in the fun. What an incredible day! #PrideInTheHive
Ski Club, along with advisors Mrs. Friday and Mrs. Luczak, have been hitting the slopes at Swain Resort once a week for the past month. There are 22 students in grades 6-12 on the roster and the group is having a blast!

It’s never too early for our students to start thinking about their futures beyond the walls of PCS. Today, our 8th graders had the opportunity to join their counterparts from around Wyoming County at Career Day, which was hosted here at PCS. Justin Dueppengiesser, a 2003 PCS graduate and Executive Director of the Wyoming County Business Education Council, organized the event in collaboration with local school districts.
Kim Smith, a Community Outreach Specialist and a member of the evidence response team at the Buffalo office of the FBI, served as the keynote speaker. Smith gave students a glimpse at the diverse career opportunities at the national security organization. Students were surprised to learn that only 1/3 of FBI employees are agents, with a majority being considered professionals like psychologists, lawyers, forensic accountants, mechanics, and more.
Representatives from NY Chips/Marquart Brothers, Koike Aronson, Morton Salt, Wyoming County Community Health System, Wyoming County Health Department, and Genesee Community College also met with students to discuss career and education opportunities. #PrideInTheHive
