Families: Field Day is tomorrow (rain or shine). We will have water activities outside as long as there is no thunder and lightning. Dry activities will take place in the building. Students need to bring a complete change of clothes and wear sandals with straps if they have them. A water bottle, towel, hat, and sunscreen are recommended. Thank you.
👩💼👨💼💜 Double the Leadership with Our Two Principal Paynes! 💜👨💼👩💼
On Friday, we were fortunate to have not one, but TWO Principal Paynes leading the way! ✨
Principal D. Payne kicked off the day by celebrating our final Ballin’ with Bickley crew, welcoming BEHS seniors during their walk through PGE, recognizing our final House Point winners, and even enjoying lunch with the admin team before passing the principal baton to his sister. 🏀🎓👏
In the afternoon, Principal A. Payne jumped right into action! After lunch with admin, she visited our 4th, 3rd, and Kindergarten classes with the Rockin’ Rewards Cart — serving, restocking, and spreading excitement throughout the building. She wrapped up her busy day by helping our 5th graders practice for their promotion ceremony on Tuesday. 🛒✨🎓
It was a busy, memorable, and incredible day at PGE thanks to these two amazing student leaders! 💜🐬
