Holiday Spirit Week rolled right along with Day Two: Holiday Headwear Day! Santa hats, reindeer antlers, elf caps, and all kinds of festive flair filled the building today. Our students and staff showed off their holiday spirit in style, and the smiles were everywhere. Another great day of fun as we head deeper into the season!

Today marked the joyful culmination of our Idlewild/Ruritan Club Food Drive, and our PES students truly embodied the spirit of generosity. With big smiles and even bigger hearts, our children proudly presented the donated food items to Santa Claus himself! Thanks to the kindness of our families, students, and staff—and the support of the Idlewild/Ruritan Club—this drive will help make a meaningful difference for those in need during the holiday season. We are so proud of our Panthers for showing compassion, community, and the true meaning of giving.

From fuzzy slippers to festive PJs, our students and staff came ready to relax, smile, and celebrate the season together. What a fun way to start the week—we had a great time and can’t wait to see what the rest of Spirit Week brings!

Mrs. Glessner’s Pre-K 4-year-olds were on a very important mission today! The Gingerbread Man went missing, and our little detectives searched all around PES to find him. With teamwork, listening ears, and lots of excitement, they finally tracked him down! Best of all, he was safely returned home in the end. What an adventure full of smiles, curiosity, and sweet success! Check out these adorable moments from our Gingerbread Man search below.

PES is diving into Holiday Spirit Week, and the building is already buzzing with festive energy. Holiday Spirit Week will be from Monday, 12/15, to Friday, 12/19. We will kick off things on Monday with Merry Monday Pajama Day, as students and staff cozied up in their warmest holiday PJs for a comfy start to the week. Tuesday brought out the sparkle with Holiday Headwear Day—the halls were filled with Santa hats, elf ears, menorah headbands, reindeer antlers, and every festive accessory imaginable. By Wednesday, the entire school transformed into a snowy scene for Winter Wonderland Whiteout Day, with everyone dressed in white, silver, and light blue to create a wintry vibe. On Thursday, things got loud and colorful for Deck the Halls & Sweater Day, featuring the funniest, ugliest, and most over-the-top holiday sweaters, complete with tinsel, ornaments, and garland. We’ll wrap it all up on Friday with Festive Characters Day, when students and staff arrive dressed as their favorite holiday or winter characters—from Santa and elves to snowmen, the Grinch, reindeer, and beyond.

✨ What a Night at the PES Winter Concert! ✨ Our fifth grade orchestra, fifth grade band, Panthers singers, and full chorus took the stage last night and performed some of their holiday favorites! The music, the energy, and the holiday vibes were just amazing! We’re so proud of our Panthers—they really gave us something special to kick off the season. And of course, a huge shout-out to Mr. Ryan List for all the heart, hard work, and patience he puts into making nights like this happen. Our students shine because he helps them believe they can.
