On August 12, 2020, junior Trenton Washburn was diagnosed with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In this type of cancer, bone marrow makes too many white blood cells. Trenton underwent his final chemotherapy treatment on December 14 and is currently in remission! For those in a battle with cancer, the ringing of a bell signifies a great accomplishment – the end of a tough chapter of treatments. We are elated that Trenton was able to celebrate this milestone with family and friends during a home basketball game last week. Congratulations, Trenton!!!! #PrideInTheHive
Mrs. Luczak’s UPK students learned that the Gingerbread Man is hard to catch. While reading the book and then watching the movie, students discovered that even the fastest animals in the forest couldn’t catch this elusive character.
Well, yesterday was their opportunity to track him down. It first started in the morning when the class received a letter challenging them to find the Gingerbread Man near the gym. Of course, by the time they got there, he had left another note that he had traveled to another location. UPKers had to be extra quiet, even tip-toeing and crawling at some points, so as to not tip him off to their location. Unfortunately, their exhaustive search led them back to the classroom, where the Gingerbread Man had left crumbs all over before jumping out the emergency window. Thankfully, he did leave students some yummy cookies before he left PES! #PrideInTheHive

Hearing the hustle and bustle of learning is commonplace when you walk through our hallways, but it was the silence that led us into Ms. Pawlicki’s classroom this morning. The concentration and consideration that these fourth graders showed as they all worked together on ELA content is commendable! #PrideInTheHive
With the holiday season upon us and families opting to celebrate with real trees, it’s a great time for Stephanie Luders, Ag in the Classroom educator from Wyoming County Cornell Cooperative Extension, to teach students more about evergreen trees. This afternoon, Mrs. Greenaker’s kindergartners learned the differences and similarities between Douglas firs, Scotch pines, and Colorado blue spruces. Students cut out their own trees based on needle lengths and then festively decorated the trees. #PrideInTheHive
Elementary classes enjoyed an in-school winter concert this morning featuring the 4th grade chorus, 5/6 chorus, select chorus, and 6th grade band. Congratulations to all the student-musicians, as well as Mrs. Wheeler and Mr. Levano, on doing a fantastic job bringing the sounds of the season to the PCS stage! #PrideInTheHive
Sixth graders are bringing the festive holiday spirit this year. After Mrs. Rowley made the suggestion, students jumped at the chance to bring in materials to decorate their lockers for the holidays. The finished products look awesome! #PrideInTheHive
We love the work Miss Dominesey’s first graders were doing this morning on a Wit and Wisdom module. Students were asked to write narrative stories based on the topic of books that included a character, setting, problem, and resolution. After each story was shared this morning, students provided positive feedback to their classmates. #PrideInTheHive
Our Chapter 2 Page Turners are off to Warsaw CSD this morning for the first competition of the season! Good luck to our readers and Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Prince! #PrideInTheHive

Paddle boarding in PE has been a HUGE hit with students!
It’s about making connections with our students.
Last Monday, prior to Thanksgiving break, Mrs. Emerson created a “campfire” for her HS art students, complete with marshmallows. Well, the marshmallows were actually pieces of paper with words on them. The goal was for the words to spark a memory and give students the opportunity to share stories that came to mind based on the words. Classes were able to bond, laugh, and connect before the busy holiday season begins. #PrideInTheHive

The High School Stand Up Club and Ms. Smith organized the "Thanks-for-Giving" holiday food drive this year.

Best of luck to Sidney as she competes in the NYSPHSAA Diving Championships today!
