Calendar Reminder: Friday, Nov. 1, half day for students. #CarolineFamily


As we approach November, it is always a time to reflect upon all of our veterans and current service men and women in our country and the sacrifices that they make for us. Recently, one of our 3rd grade classes was able to have a visit with a very special airman! Airman Burns, former PES student, was able to visit mom (Mrs.Burns) and her 3rd grade class while on leave. Thank you for your service! #PESPantherPride






This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Katherine Watson. Mrs. Watson teaches 3rd grade at PES and has taught for 22 years! She has a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and History and a Master's in Building Elementary Literacy and Reading. She is also certified in LETRS, a requirement for the MSDE Science of Reading program. Mrs. Watson is a member of our Teacher Advisory Committee, our PBIS SIP Team, and the PES representative for the School System Improvement Council. Mrs. Watson plans on continuing to become the best teacher she can be, hopefully winning the lottery and retiring in the mountains in a cabin! We are so thankful that Mrs. Watson has made the Panther Pride Den her home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride


Congratulations to Dayla, Fredy, Alexander, and Jase! These hard-working Panthers represented PES extremely well at this year's Spelling Bee! We are so proud of them! Great job Panthers! #PESPantherPride
