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! 💚🤍
Kindergarten Zoo Trip 2026
Dr. Tomaszewski (Doc T), retired guidance counselor and substitute teacher, shared a truly inspiring message with our students today.
He told the story of a young boy who struggled to read—only to reveal that the boy was him. Through it all, he never gave up and always believed in himself. His journey is a powerful example of grit and determination.
Dr. Tomaszewski reminded our students, “If you limit your expectations of yourself, you will limit your accomplishments.”

Several of our students participated in the All County Choir directed by Mrs. Walls and Mrs. Sutton. It was a great concert! Good job!
Our Wildcats assembled flower pens for the residents of New Martinsville Rehabilitation Center in celebration of Mother’s Day.
Supporting the community through meaningful, hands-on action builds compassion, empathy, and leadership skills. We are so proud of our students for sharing their hearts and making a difference!

The week ahead
Our first graders brought history to life by building personal timelines. This hands‑on project helped them understand chronological order, reflect on important moments, and practice public speaking as they presented to their classmates. Real‑life experiences make learning meaningful—and these students shined.
Congratulations, Opie!
The Paden City Elementary cooks continue with their pizza making tradition!
A little kindness goes a long way. Our 5th and 6th grade leaders brightened our day with flowers and “My Favorite” superlatives. What a beautiful moment of gratitude.
Our first grade students celebrated their iReady end of year benchmark growth with some silly string fun!
