Green Eggs and Ham, the Grinch, and the Cat in the Hat...today is a Seuss-tastical day at PES! #PrideInTheHive
When you make first graders laugh while you read them a book about monsters, then you know it’s going to be a good day!
Superintendent McLaughlin and several other Perry Rotary members are visiting elementary classes this week to share some of their favorite books in honor of Reading Festival Week. Of course, Mrs. Baker’s students were super excited to share their scariest, absolutely most frightening – and silliest – monster faces with Superintendent McLaughlin this morning! #PrideInTheHive
We couldn’t ignore the fun being had by Coach Weber’s and Coach Ohlson’s PE students today. This is Omnikin Kin-Ball and students in grades 4-8 are having a blast with this game, which encourages teamwork and communication. #PrideInTheHive
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
