Invest in the Best and Panther Party Updates
Invest in the Best

The Invest in the Best giving campaign is off to a great start and we just past $25,000 which 38% to our goal! Thank you to all who have so generously donated. If you have not made a gift yet, now is a great time to consider doing so! 

To make a donation online, please visit our Invest in the Best page

Checks are also accepted and are payable to the Pearre Creek Elementary PTO and can be given to your teacher in an envelope that is clearly labeled as "Invest in the Best donation". 

The Invest campaign is an opportunity to make a direct, immediate, tax-deductible impact on the educational opportunities available at Pearre Creek. 

This week it's Spirit Week at PCES! Students are encouraged to dress up for each spirit day and participate in the fundraising by dropping cash or coins in grade level jugs in each grade's hallway. The grade levels with the highest percentage of students participating in online donations and the coin collection will receive a Donut Glow Stick Dance Party in November. Competition ends Friday, September 30th! 

  • Today is Pajama Day - stay comfy all day and wear your pajamas to school!
  • Wednesday is Wild Wednesday - wear cheetah, zebra or other animal print or a shirt with your favorite animal on it
  • Thursday is Favorite Team day - rock your jerseys or other team shirts
  • Friday is Let's Glow Panthers day - wear your brightest or shiniest colors to school!

Thank you for supporting Pearre Creek Elementary!

Panther Party on September 30th!

To celebrate Invest in the Best, the PTO is hosting our annual Panther Party on Friday, September 30th from 5:30 - 7:30 PM in the school bus parking lot. Make it a family night and head on over for FUN! Glow sticks will be given to anyone wearing their favorite PCES gear! 

Grab dinner from the food trucks that will be on site! Then, stay to enjoy tunes spun by DJ Louis Lee and the many family friendly activities hosted by the PTO - hula hoop contests, inflatables, face painting, corn hole, and a candy walk!

It takes many volunteers to run the Panther Party! Please sign up to donate just 20 minutes of your time manning a shift at one of the activities, then enjoy the party with your family! Each grade will oversee a fun activity. Please sign up to volunteer now!
