Yesterday was National School Custodian Day! Shoutout to the true MVPs of our school — the custodians who somehow manage to clean up glitter, mystery spills, and whatever that is in the lost and found… all with a smile! They’ve mastered the art of floor shining, trash bin wrangling, and ninja-level hallway sweeping without ever tripping over a backpack. Let’s be honest — without them, we’d all be stuck in a glue-stick-and-gum apocalypse. Thank you for keeping our school clean, safe, and way less sticky! #NationalCustodianDay #CustodianHeroes #GlitterWarriors #WeAppreciateYou

Today marked a very special milestone — the 50th anniversary (if we counted correctly) of the PES Track Meet! It was a day filled with energy, sportsmanship, and tradition. Even more bittersweet, it was also Mrs. Barnhill’s final track meet as she prepares for a well-earned retirement. She's been the heart and soul of this event, inspiring generations of students to run their hardest and cheer the loudest. Though Mrs. Barnhill will be passing the baton, the PES Track Meet will continue — stronger than ever — as part of the legacy she leaves behind. Feel free to tell us your favorite PES track meet memory. Thank you, Mrs. Barnhill, for everything. You’ll always be part of the PES family. #onceaneaglealwaysaneagle

Teacher Appreciation Week – Day 3! After braving the rain at today’s track meet, our amazing teachers were treated to some well-deserved snacks. A special thanks to Chevy White, one of our awesome 4th graders, who helped load up the snack cart before it was rolled around to surprise teachers with goodies. Rainy weather or not, we always want to find ways to show our appreciation. Thank you, teachers, for going the extra mile — both on the track and in the classroom! #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ParisElementary #SnackCartHero
