Ukulele fun in music!
Yesterday at our Building Leadership Team meeting, three of our students took the lead by presenting thoughtful proposals for building and district policy changes, inspired by their electives course on how laws come into effect.
They shared ideas on:
➡️building homework policy for student benefit
➡️creating a study hall elective (5th & 6th grade) that supports students without feeling punitive
➡️replacing styrofoam trays with reusable trays to improve environmental safety
Each student came prepared with clear arguments, research to support their claims, and strong responses during the Q&A. We love seeing students apply their learning in real-life settings, especially when it involves advocating for meaningful change.
Student voice matters, and you made yours heard. Well done! The BLT is excited to dive deeper into your proposals and continue the conversation.
Third-grade students are ready to begin the next step in their Local Government unit! A huge thank-you to the Peebles Community for supporting our learners and helping them deepen their understanding through real-life projects. Your partnership makes learning come alive!
These first-grade students were proud to show off their Thanksgiving headbands and writing projects. One writing project was about how they would get a Thanksgiving turkey and cook it. Some students chose to buy one at the grocery store, while others wanted to go to the woods to hunt for their turkey. Kids chose a wide variety of ways to cook their turkeys: grilling, boiling, baking, and even using a flamethrower. The other writing project was one where they disguised a turkey and wrote about where it would hide.
Congratulations to these 3 for placing in the TAG Invention Convention!

Alright team — we’re kicking off our P.E. fundraiser, and this one comes with a pretty awesome bonus…
🎟️ Everyone who participates gets entered for a chance to win Cincinnati Reds tickets! ⚾❤️
Yes, you read that right. Reds. Tickets.
Every bit of support goes right back into giving our kids more ways to move, play, and stay active. Our P.E. program is such a big part of their day, and this helps us keep it strong.
If you’re able to jump in, we’d truly appreciate it — and who knows, you might end up cheering at Great American Ball Park soon!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Mr. Smith’s History of Sports elective explored the origins of basketball and traced how the sport has grown and changed over time.
We had special guests sing the National Anthem yesterday morning during announcements! Well done, Mrs. Zinser's 4th grade class!
Third grade students enjoyed an engaging adventure back in time led by the amazing Mrs. Linda Worley! The adventure began at the Great Serpent Mound. After that, they took a closer look at the founding of Peebles and learned about Jacksonville (Jacktown) and Locust Grove, as well. They saw visual images of Main Street at a time that looked very different than it does today. The final stop was the World's Plowing Contest! Needless to say, there was a lot of awesome information that they soaked in today. We greatly appreciated all the work that Linda put in to provide this adventure in learning for them!
From Classroom Bills to Real-World Change!
In Breaking the Constitution, Mr. Smith’s students have been exploring the steps of the legislative process—how a bill is written, discussed, debated, and voted on. To bring this learning to life, students created proposals for building improvements at PES, using research and evidence to support their ideas.
After holding structured debates between “parties,” students shared their proposals with Mrs. Brewer. Now, just like real lawmakers, they’ve been invited to the upcoming Building Leadership Meeting to present their ideas and advocate for positive change at our school. 🎤🏛️
Authentic learning. Real civic engagement. Future leaders in the making! 🌟
Great job, student leaders! 💙💛
