Our Pre-k students collaborated with 4th graders to build cars out of boxes. This activity provided an opportunity for the students to practice building and learn valuable cooperative skills. Students later pretended to drive the cars and also watched the movie "Cars" from their pretend drive-in.

The students at PCE may not be quite old enough to vote for President, but they all exercised their right to vote today as they cast their ballots for the 2024-25 student council! Braelynn Carroll, Truleigh Gallagher, Leah Minger, and Anthony Veyon will all serve as council members. Based on the votes by the student body, Truleigh Gallagher will serve as President and Anthony Veyon will serve as vice President of the council this year. Congratulations to all!
