Our 2nd Annual Staff vs. 6th Grade Student Basketball Game tipped off today, and the 6th graders came in talking a big game!
After plenty of trash talk, hustle, and some impressive moves from our students, the PES staff proved that our "old age" can still compete! The staff defended their title and remain the back-to-back champions!
A huge shoutout to our 6th graders for bringing the energy, competitive spirit, and lots of laughs. Events like this are just one more reason why PES is such a fun place to learn and grow!
Thank you, Lee Pertuset from the Adams County Engineer's Office, for speaking to our 6th grade students today!
These kids keep shining every day! ☀️
As we head into the final 6 days of school, every day truly matters!
These last few days are important for celebrating accomplishments, completing end-of-year activities, and helping students feel confident and ready for next year.
You may hear the term “chronic absenteeism.” This means a student has missed about 18 days (or 108 hours) of school over the year—whether those absences are excused or unexcused. This is something that is tracked by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce because regular attendance plays a big role in student success.
Even missing a day or two right now can make a difference—especially for students who are close to that threshold.
We need your help to finish strong!
Let’s work together to make sure students are:
✔️ Present
✔️ Engaged
✔️ Ready to finish the year proud
Remember our motto: Strive for 5—Every Day Counts!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership—together, we can make attendance a priority!
Every day. Every hour. Every student. Every school day counts!
Thank you, Brian Zinser, for speaking to our 6th graders about your military career!
Congratulation, Alvie, for winning the perfect attendance drawing for April!
