Being street smart is an essential skill for kids, helping them navigate their environment safely and confidently. It involves understanding how to assess situations, recognize potential dangers, and make informed decisions while out and about. Teaching children about personal safety, awareness of their surroundings, and the importance of trusting their instincts can empower them to handle various situations wisely. By fostering street smarts, we equip kids with the tools they need to stay safe and make responsible choices in their daily lives.

State testing can be a stressful time for students, making it even more important to start the day with a nutritious breakfast. Eating a balanced meal in the morning fuels the brain, improves focus, and enhances memory, all of which are essential for performing well on tests. A breakfast rich in whole grains, fruits, and proteins helps maintain energy levels and keeps blood sugar stable, allowing students to tackle challenges with confidence. Prioritizing breakfast not only supports academic success but also promotes overall well-being during this critical time!

March PES Staff Spotlight!
Please join us in honoring these wonderful ladies; Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. McAnally! They are such a blessing to many students, staff, and families!
Mrs. Tyler has been serving students in education for the past 19 years. She loves teaching students and loves helping them find their favorite books in the Library! Her favorite memory as a student was her 4th-grade teacher. One thing she can't live without is her family. She enjoys spending time with her family and loves going to the beach!
Mrs. McAnally has been serving students for the past 2 years. She loves helping students be successful each day! Her favorite memory as a student was helping her teachers and she also loved playing Junior High Sports! She loves her sweet kiddos, Jace and Makiah and she loves being on the worship team at church.
We are blessed to have them both at PES and appreciate all they do to make students shine!
