In honor of Earth Day, which was celebrated yesterday, Ms. Luckey's 6th grade science students have been working on "Saving the Earth" projects. Each student researched an environmental problem, like deforestation, water pollution, etc., and developed a solution. Tomorrow, students will be presenting their findings in class. #PrideInTheHive

Friday was an incredible day for PCS, our students, the local agriculture community, and our partners at the Autism Nature Trail as we hosted Dr. Temple Grandin, a distinguished professor of animal science at Colorado State University, and autism activist.

Yesterday, Mrs. Kramell’s 9th grade ELA students had their final session with Gretchen Didio, a teaching artist from Shakespeare in Delaware Park. The guest has been working with students for the last six weeks to break down different aspects of Elizabethan English in “Romeo and Juliet.” Students also learned several acting techniques, which they put to use while performing scenes from “Romeo and Juliet.” This is the third year that Mrs. Kramell’s students had the opportunity to work with artists from Shakespeare in Delaware Park, made possible by Arts for Learning WNY, in partnership with Chautaugua Institute. #PrideInTheHive
We caught Mrs. Bauer's 7th grade ELA students working with Ryan Norton, a local theatre artist, on acting out scenes from "Monster's are Due on Maple Street" by Rod Serling. This incredible opportunity was made possible thanks to the Foundation for Perry's Educational Future, Inc. and its commitment to educational projects like Arts for Learning. #PrideInTheHive
Look at that concentration! Nothing could distract Mrs. Reagan's 3rd graders while learning the Ukulele chords this morning with Mrs. Wheeler. #PrideInTheHive
Mrs. Adolf, elementary art teacher, headed to Louisville, Kentucky, for a couple days last week to attend the National Art Educators Association’s annual convention. She was joined by thousands of visual arts, design, and media arts educators who share her passion of supporting students’ creative exploration. She was busy discussing new art media with vendors, attending workshops for new classroom ideas, and listening to lectures from working artists, educators, and art activists. Our students will undoubtedly benefit from all the knowledge she brings back to PES! #PrideInTheHive
