ROAR-ing Success at PCES! PCE’s PBIS ROAR Session was a blast as we celebrated our students’ positive behavior during the first 9 weeks! From bouncy houses to a dance party and playground fun, our Wildcats had an afternoon full of joy, laughter, and well-deserved recognition. We even had a special guest! 🐾It was truly a great day at PCES! 💚🤍

Enjoy your summer!

Thank you to our incredible community for donating, lifting spirits, and wrapping one of our own in strength and support. #noonefightsalone

We celebrated our incredible students and promoted them to middle school!
We are so proud of all they have accomplished and the growth we’ve seen in each and every one of them.
As they move forward to their next chapter, we know they will continue to shine, lead, and achieve great things.
They will always be part of our Wildcat family! Best wishes to all!

Leading with literacy and lighting up the day! Our older students spent the afternoon reading to our youngest learners in the sunshine, proving once again that mentorship grows best in the warmth of community!

Pictured are some members of our bus duty team who made this day tutu‑tastic. They brought the flair, the fun, and the end‑of‑day sparkle!💖

Mrs. Slider could not keep up with these goal crushers! Seesi Stewart earned her Black Belt for third grade. Addi Dye earned a black belt in one grade level above her own. Gideon Rustemeyer and Charlotte Croft earned the highest black belt for the program! 5th grade goal was 300 consecutive jumps. These two first graders are the only ones in the school to achieve this accomplishment! Iva Highley made the Impossible Shot!

Thanks for lending our cooks a helping hand, Michael!

Wildcats Show Up winners!

PCE’s commitment to our community and helping others was shining brightly today! During our cancer relay, our school community helped raise money for a local family affected by cancer. The day was filled with fun and purpose as students participated in races, enjoyed games of cornhole, and created meaningful crafts—all while supporting an important cause. Together, we truly make a difference! #CommunityStrong #NoOneFightsAlone
