The PES Safety Patrol is returning! Thank you to Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Porter for being the advisors for our new PES Safety Patrol! Today our 5th grade Panthers had an assembly with Mrs. Brown and Ms. Porter to discuss what the PES Safety Patrol is and how they can apply!
5th grade students have until March 7th to fill out the application and get a teacher letter of recommendation for consideration to become a member of the Safety Patrol. Tonight our 5th grade families also received an email with the application and an informational letter about the Safety Patrol.
