Meet our incredible Fine Arts teachers at PES! Their passion and expertise are inspiring our students every day. Check them out!



To celebrate National Agricultural Literacy Week, Aubrey and Issabell from the FFA visited Mrs. Simpson's Preschool class and taught a lesson all about soil. They read a story about the importance of soil and presented a slide show discussing the different layers of soil. Our favorite part was sticking a clear straw through a candy bar to show an example of the layers in soil. It was really neat! The kids absolutely loved it!









Learning about simple machines in Tech Time! Our students from K, 1st, and 5th grade put their skills to the test, building 'gold' scoopers. Take a look!
