We have plenty of Field Day pictures coming in just a bit, but before we do, we can't forget the ABC countdown from our Kindergarten Panthers! We wore our Field Day Uniforms today for the letter U and watched the movie Up during our down time! #pespantherpride #abccountdown
Today, for the letter T, our Kindergarten Panthers signed our end of the year tshirts, took home books and drew turtles to celebrate! Looking sharp! The ABC Countdown continues and we are almost there! #pespantherpride #abccountdown
Congrats to Mrs. Cathy Elin, she is our staff member of the week! We can not begin to say how much we admire the work Mrs. Elin does with our linguistically gifted students both in and out of school. They and their families are truly a part of our community because of the hard work and dedication she puts in each and every day! Mrs. Elin has made a lifelong impact on her Panthers, and their success at PES is seen by all of us every single day!
Congratulations to Ally Patchett for being chosen as the PES Book Reviewer of the Week! The book that she gave a 5 star review for is the book Titanic by Bob Temple. The Titanic book is a You Choose book. We have a whole section of You Choose books. There are 3 story paths, 35 choices and 15 different endings in this book! Ally loved The Titanic and loves to read books that are interactive. She said it was exciting because you get to decide the path but there is no telling where you will end up…even if you are on the Titanic! Congratulations Ally! #PESreads

S is for sunglasses! Today we had sunglasses day. We got to wear our sunglasses inside all day!! We read “Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses,” wrote about what we would see if we had magic sunglasses and designed sunglasses we would like to have. We also enjoyed a sweet treat in the sunshine while wearing our sunglasses! The ABC Countdown continues! #pespantherpride #abccountdown
Our 1st grade got to go to Adkins Arboretum today on their field trip! Judging by all of their smiling faces, this was one day that they will never forget! #pespantherpride
This event is happening on June 8th. All students will participate, and do not need a yearbook to enjoy the fun! Thank you to our amazing PTO for, once again, taking care of our Panthers. ❤️❤️❤️
Portfolio day is always a great day for our Panthers! They have done a lot of amazing artwork all year long with our fabulous art teachers, Mr. Lambert and and Ms. Asbury! We hope all of the families at home enjoy their portfolios as they bring them home to show you this week! #pespantherpride
The ABC Kindergarten Countdown continues! R is for rainbow 🌈! Our Kindergarten Panthers read the rainbow fish and made rainbow themed crafts today! Looks like they had so much fun! #pespantherpride #abccountdown
One of our favorite events of the year is when our CRHS graduates come back to PES to walk our halls and get cheered on by our current Panthers! Congratulations to the class of 2022-2023! Videos coming soon! #pespantherpride

History was made today as PES celebrated their very first wedding!! Kindergarten gathered together today to celebrate the wedding of Q & U and join them in words forever. Mr. Q & Mrs. U vowed to be partners and stand together forever in words like quack, quail, quiver and quarters. Kindergarteners promised to always use the letter U after Q and all lived happily ever after. Everyone celebrated after with what can only be described as the most beautiful wedding reception to take place in a kindergarten courtyard 🎉🤍 #PESpantherpride #abccountdown
Thank you so much to the Caroline County Sheriff's Office and our amazing Caroline Career & Technology Center students for making today’s Career Day so engaging! PES students enjoyed learning about so many potential career opportunities and job skills. The future is looking bright for all of these Panthers dressed up as their future careers 🤩 Big thanks to Mrs. Sherman, our incredible guidance counselor, for planning Career Day and for all of those involved who made it a success! #CarolineFamily #PESpantherpride
We have a very special group of Panthers (and teachers) that have worked extra hard these past 70 days 👏🏻 For the past 12 weeks, this group has attended before school tutoring at 7:30 AM every day and their hard work definitely shows!! This morning they enjoyed a special and well-deserved celebration 🎉 🍪
Thank you to all the teachers that supported before school tutoring and parents and families for their commitment to this program ❤️ #pespantherpride
If you give a Preston Panther before school tutoring… 📚
Congratulations to this weeks PES PAWSITIVE Referral recipients! Hazelee, Chance, Sadie, Becky and Brycen are doing a great job! These students are showing their PAWS each and every day! #PESpantherpride
Congratulations to Caitlin Ober for being chosen as the PES Book Reviewer of the Week!
The book that she gave a 5 star review for is the book Crossover by Kwame Alexander.
Josh Bell, known on and off the court doesn’t lack self-confidence, but neither does he lack the skills to back up his own mental in-game commentary: I rise like a Learjet-/ seventh-graders aren-t supposed to dunk./ But guess what?/ I snatch the ball out of the air and/ SLAM!/ YAM! IN YOUR MUG!- Josh is sure that he and his twin brother, JB, are going pro, following in the footsteps of their father, who played professional ball in Europe. The poems dodge and weave with the speed of a point guard driving for the basket, mixing basketball action with vocabulary-themed poems, newspaper clippings, and Josh’s sincere first-person accounts that swing from moments of swagger-worthy triumph to profound pain. This verse novel delivers a real emotional punch before the final buzzer.
Caitlin said that the poems were neat and inspiring. She said that because she read this book, she feels that she can do anything she puts her mind to! She has read all of Kwame Alexander’s books. You can find them in the Fiction and Graphic Novel sections of our library. Congratulations Caitlin! #PESReads #PESPantherPride
Congrats to Miss Nicole Cayer! Miss Cayer is our staff member of the week! Miss Cayer does an outstanding job with Mrs. Harris down in our Pre-K 3 program, and every day those little Panthers feel loved and cherished by their amazing team! The fierce level of care and love Miss Cayer has for her Panthers is evident each and every day, and she is helping those students learn so much at such an early age! We are so lucky to have you here at Preston!!
P is for popcorn and pajamas! Kindergarten sure knows how to make every day purposeful and playful 🍿
Our Pre-K3 students have celebrated each color all year long and today was the final celebration with rainbow day 🌈 PES was happy to help our littlest panthers celebrate 🎉
