Our boys' and girls' youth basketball teams have been attending varsity games to support older players during introductions and then stay to play at halftime. Last night it was the 4th grade boys' time to shine. We absolutely love to see the present and future of the PCS basketball program enjoying the game together. #PrideInTheHive
New Year, new reads. Ms. Hurd’s 8th grade English students aren’t wasting any time searching for new book titles. Students recently finished the first of two independent reading projects, which included peer presentations. In addition to completing those presentations this week, they are also visiting Ms. Wilkie in the ES/JH library to find their next books, which will have to be read by spring. #PrideInTheHive

Mrs. Lowery's Entrepreneurship class presented the 13th Annual Pieces of Perry Showcase this afternoon. Students Kylee Baxter, Emma Darocha, Lilly Henchen, Thomas Kerr, and Cheyana Robb spent the fall developing their own hypothetical businesses and pitched the ideas to high school students, faculty, and administrators during lunch periods. It was a tight race, with only two votes separating first and second places. Thomas' "Goods on the Go" was named the top business, followed by Emma's "Prep Matters." Congratulations to all the students! #PrideInTheHive
All Aboarrrrdddd!!!! It's the start of a magical day at PES. Santa even made a surprise visit to each classroom! #PrideInTheHive #PolarExpress
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
