January 2023 Update
Message from PTO Board

Hello Pearre Creek Families,

Welcome to 2023!  I hope you had an enjoyable holiday season!  

Our Pearre Creek teachers sure felt the love from the PTO and community as we were able to make an extra special holiday season for this year!  Each teacher was treated to lunch at Scout's prior to winter break.  Upon returning to school, each teacher received a gently used chair courtesy of Mary Garges and the team at Sarah Cannon Research Institute.  Thank you for your donation and generosity to make this happen!  The teachers and staff were thrilled!   

We have some fun events planned for the spring semester including our first annual family fun dance, STREAM Night, Dodgeball and Rock the Creek (at a new location - stay tuned!).  See below for more information and watch this newsletter for all updates!  Thank you as always for your support. You help make PCES GREAT!

Regards,

Heather Hanson (PTO President) and 2022 - 2023 PTO Board

Family Fun Dance on February 10th

Please join us for Pearre Creek PTO's first annual Family Fun Dance on Friday, February 10th, 2023, from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm in the school gymnasium. All families are welcome to attend!  Our theme this is "Western-style" and we encourage everyone to wear boots, hats and other Western-inspired attire. We will have a DJ, line dancing, fun games and free snacks for everyone to enjoy.  We hope to see you there!  

STREAM Night is February 23rd

Science - Technology – Reading/Writing - Engineering - Art – Mathematics (STREAM) Night is a fun night at PCES that is filled with all kinds of science, math, and art activities for the kids. We are gearing up to make this year's STREAM night epic!   It will be held on Thursday, February 23, 2023, from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm. The theme will be "Once Upon a Time" and your family won't want to miss it.  Mark your calendar now!

STREAM Night will also feature projects created by our students as part of the Innovation Expo. The Innovation Expo is a creative alternative to the traditional Science Fair. It enables students in grades 3rd thru 5th to explore interests and talents from six different categories from which they can choose: Innovation, Invention, Scientific Inquiry, Reverse Engineering, Science Fiction Writing, and Rube Goldberg Machines. Students in kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades are invited to participate in the Lego Expo and may build a Lego creation that fits with the "Once Upon a Time" theme of STREAM Night. The lego creations will be displayed during the Expo. All projects are due February 20, 2023.

Can You Help with STREAM Night?

We are looking for mentors to meet with and provide feedback to the students who are entering science projects.  Please sign up here to express your interest in helping be a mentor this year!  

If you'd like to help, but don't want to be a mentor, we could use your help hanging up art in the hallways and with other activities to make the event successful.  Please sign up here!

FEATURED SPONSORS

Hi Pearre Creek families! My name is Ryan Templeman and I’m a residential mortgage lender, with the ability to broker, at Bay Equity Home Loans here in Franklin, TN. I’m a former educator myself and love nothing more than supporting schools. It’s been an honor to serve as one of your PTO sponsors and it would be an honor to help any Pearre Creek family or staff member with their home financing needs. Our “Giving to Heroes” program offers credits towards any educators’ closing costs and I am extending this offer to all Pearre Creek families! Don’t hesitate to call, email or text…I would love the opportunity to help.

If your child is struggling in math or looking for a challenge, Mathnasium is the place for them! We start with a free assessment to identify gaps in understanding, and then we teach in very low ratios to provide lots of 1-on-1 attention. Parents love to watch their children's skills and confidence improve. They also love that we tackle homework directly so they don't have to. Oh, and we offer flexible attendance so you can plan Mathnasium around a busy life rather than the other way around!  Please visit [list website]
