Our future Class of 2039 is getting their start at Peoples Elementary! ❤️💙
Yesterday, we welcomed our first group of incoming kindergarteners for registration, and the excitement was contagious. Families stopped by to complete registration, meet our team, and take the first step toward an amazing school journey.
These soon-to-be kindergarteners have officially signed their intent to become a Peoples Indian, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them into our school family next year! 📝✨
We can’t wait to see the energy, curiosity, and big dreams the Class of 2039 will bring to Peoples Elementary. The future is bright! 🌟










Our staff go above and beyond every day to make sure our students feel supported, valued, and have great days at school.

A new math master!

From bubble science to exploring density to observing live freshwater hydra, Mrs. Beech’s science class is showing that hands-on learning truly makes concepts come alive! 🧪🔬
When students can see it, test it, and experience it, the learning sticks. We love watching curiosity in action!

Even the smallest actions can make a big difference! We love seeing our students step up and help their community. Every little bit counts!






Another Kindergarten Math Master!

Preschool had a special guest visitor for story time today! 📚
We were excited to welcome school board member Mr. Ben Hilderbrand, who stopped by to read to our students and spend time in the classroom. Our preschoolers loved listening to the stories and sharing their excitement with him.
Thank you, Mr. Hilderbrand, for supporting our youngest learners and helping us foster a love of reading at Peebles! 💛

👀 Look at our awesome kindergartners! New members of the Sight Word Tribe and Little Indian Letter Chiefs 🎉

A couple of weeks ago, third graders started a school/home connections project. Each evening, students are randomly selected to take home one of the three class geese. These geese spend time with the students and their families for the evening. Students write about what they did while the goose was with them. Then, they return to school the next day and present. Families have the option of submitting pictures, as well. Every 3rd grade student will have the opportunity to participate. We wanted to share some highlights of these class geese adventures.
Due to the fragility of their legs, we have even had parents who "performed surgery" to reattach! Families are really enjoying this project!
