PRINCIPAL'S NOTE
We are very excited for you all to see our music/band/art show tomorrow! Students have been busy, busy, busy creating artwork, learning their music, and rehearsing. We're happy to be able to continue our tradition of holding our spring concert outside on the field again this year. If you are taking your child/children directly home from the concert, it's very important to remember to check in with your child's teacher before leaving. This is done so we can make certain everyone gets home safely.
Next Friday, in honor of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, May 29th, we will be wearing red, white, and blue.
NO PRESCHOOL AT PES FRIDAY, MAY 19TH
Please note there will be no preschool at PES tomorrow, May 19th, due to preschool parent-teacher conferences.

All books are due back to school by June 9th. Thank you for your help and support.
