PES September Staff & Teacher of the Month: Special Education Assistant Lisa Webb and Reading Interventionist Kim Thompson. Read what their colleagues had to say about them: Lisa Webb Lisa is a go-getter! She cares so much for the children and not just the ones she's in charge of! She has a smile on her face and a pep in her step! Lisa goes above and beyond to not only take care of her student but also steps in to help others around her!! Everytime I see Lisa she has an awesome attitude with a smile on her face. Just seeing her in the hallway by my classroom makes my mornings better, so I know it has to be doing the same for students. She has a big heart for our students, especially those that need special care. Her hard work and dedication to students and teachers doesn’t go unnoticed. Kim Thompson I can always count on Kim to help me with whatever I might need, and she always has an awesome attitude. All of the hours she spent making the new UFLI stuff for EVERY teacher. Wow I know it was a LOT and she deserves recognition!! Mrs. Thompson is dependable, hard working, helpful, and always smiling! Kim is a team player and is always there to help teachers and students. I could not have survived last year without her help in my classroom. Although she isn't my reading helper this year, she still continues to help and check up on me when she can, and I appreciate it very much. Two very deserving ladies! Congratulations. #DragonCARES

Thank you so much Yvonne Chambers, OCCC Professor of Nursing, for having your nursing students create a pediatric health fair for our students! It was very informative for our students and they had so much fun learning! Students participated in 7 stations today during their PE/Music time that presented on being healthy. Pick a Better Snack (nutrition) Physical Activity (exercise) Bullying (kind speech) Infection Control (handwashing/mask/cover mouth with cough/sneeze) Dental Health (proper brushing/tooth decay/floss) Healthy Lungs (lung sounds/inhalation & exhalation/air pollution) Concussion Prevention (helmet safety) Thank you for helping us learn to be healthy and make healthy habits! Students even received vampire teeth! We hope this becomes a yearly tradition! 🍎 #DragonCARES♥️🐲 #occcnursing #OCCC #pediatrichealthfair

What a fun day in Pre-K! We had special visitors from the farm join us at school today. We have been learning about farms for the past two weeks and this was a treat to be able to get a closer look a few animas that live there. Thank you to Mr. Nicklas for teaching us more about these animals and letting us experience a little piece of the farm here at school!
