Book Fair: Next week – October 6–10

Families are invited to shop in person Monday–Friday from 8:45–9:15 a.m., as well as in the afternoons Monday–Thursday from 3:45–4:30 p.m. On Friday, the fair will also be open during the Harvest Festival for even more opportunities to browse and buy books. If you can’t make it in person, parents may also shop online here.

We are also looking for parent volunteers to help make this event a success! It’s a wonderful chance to support our school and help foster a love of reading! You can sign up here.

PFES is continuing our recycling of plastic bags!

We have teamed with NexTrex to recycle 1,000 lbs. of plastic bags within the year (we are currently at 200 lbs.), and in exchange we will receive a Trex bench for our school. We have 3 white bins located in the school as collection sites. Please help us reach our goal! If we reach 1,000 lbs., our school will receive a bench made from recycled plastics!
