A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Thank you all for coming to our annual Thanksgiving Feast! It was a tremendous success. Our students were so happy to have their family and friends with them for lunch. Miss Anna and her crew, Miss Faye and Miss Nicole did an amazing job preparing a meal for so many people. Thank you as well to Mr. Nick for setting up the cafeteria, and Mrs. Caron for decorating and setting the tables. Watch Facebook and our webpage for event pictures, thanks to Mrs. Polizotto-official PES photographer! Finally, thanks go to Dr. Manuel, Mrs. Joseph, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Craney, and Mrs. Burgess our fabulous Central Office serving crew, and to Chief Skroski and Officer Marco, who served as well. What a great community we have in Phippsburg!
Just a reminder that because of the shortened week and the Thanksgiving holiday, there will not be a log going home next week. Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!
