These special Elves showed up today at JES and were sitting on the mailbox. Wonder where they will be tomorrow? Can't wait to see. Hmm, I'm not sure what their names are but I think I will call them SaM and DaB!!

Don't forget the opportunity to support our Robotics Teams as well as our 1st Graders.
The Winter-grams will be delivered to any student on our campus. Each gram will have two STEM puzzles to put together that make a 3D reindeer and Christmas tree. The profits of this sale will help sponsor our Robotics team in competitions.
Our first grade team is selling a Dominos card. This will give you discounts on ordering pizzas.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of the first grade teachers or Mr. Gallagher in STEM/Robotics.

First Grade with Miss A
Every nine weeks our class nominates and elects a president, treasurer, and secretary. By giving students the opportunity to vote, we show them that their opinions matter and that they play an important part in shaping our classroom community and, eventually, their world. We’re excited to see our term two elected officials grow into confident young leaders.

Join PCSD for a LIVE parent event – Snapchat & Instagram Risks
Is your child begging for, or already using, Snapchat and Instagram? If so, join PCSD Superintendent Dr. Rick Surrency along with SmartSocial on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:00PM for a LIVE virtual event, designed to help parents learn why their kids want to Snapchat or Instagram and hidden risks you need to know about!:
These apps can be fun and creative, but big risks are hiding behind features like disappearing chats or “spam” and “finsta” accounts. What feels private to your teen can actually fuel comparison, anxiety, cyberbullying, and risky behavior.
