October 2025 Update
BOO Bingo Night

Join us for Boo Bingo Friday, October 24, from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at PCES. We will have Bingo, Costume Contests by grade level, and fun door prizes for winners! We encourage all students to come wearing their halloween costume. 

Cookie Fix will have sweet treats available for purchase and is generously giving 10% of sales back to PCES!

This is a free family event, come and enjoy some spooktacular fun! 

Student Holiday Gift Shop

Holiday Gift Shop – Save the Dates!
Tuesday, Dec. 2 & Thursday, Dec. 4 | 4:00–6:00 PM at the School

Our kids-only Holiday Gift Shop is back—with a twist! This year’s event will take place after school, but the magic of surprise is still very much alive. Parents are welcome to bring their children, but will be invited to enjoy cocoa and view student artwork in a separate area while kids shop independently for gifts.

We’ll share more details soon, including volunteer opportunities and a sign-up link. For now, please mark your calendars and note that each student should plan to attend one shopping day only. (Tentatively: last names A–L on Tuesday, M–Z on Thursday—but families may choose whichever day works best.)

Stay tuned for more info!

Thank You for an Incredible Invest in the Best Fundraiser!

Together, our generous families and community raised $78,290 to support our students, teachers, staff, and school for the 2025–2026 school year!

This fundraiser was a huge success thanks to your kindness, enthusiasm, and teamwork. It was a community-wide effort! We’re thrilled to pour these funds back into our school to uplift our teachers and enrich every student’s experience. 

A very special thank you to Lindsay Newkirk for executing a fantastic fundraising program for our school. Thank you Lindsay!

Go Panthers! 


Panther Party Success!

The Panther Party was our best one yet! Special shout out to Courtney Sanders for organizing such an amazing evening. The inflatable games, balloon artists, face painting, hair spraying, and DJ dance party made for a great time for the kids. Also, thank you to PCES parent and community sponsors who helped make the party so fun: Snaps with Sally for capturing tons of wonderful photos, Franklin Celebrations for the beautiful balloons and decorations, Digital Treehouse for cotton candy treats, Great Clips for hair braiding and spray painting, Carr Orthodontics and Dental Haven for popcorn and candy and Dance Mania for sponsoring a princess for photos. What a great night!
