It's teacher appreciation week and since every PLES contributes to the education of our students, we are celebrating all PLES employees.
PLES PTCO treated us to a yogurt bar on Monday and sweet treats on Tuesday.
This morning, we received the wonderful surprise of muffins, cookies, and turnovers gifted to the PLES staff from Family Savings Credit Union.
Later today, PTCO is treating the PLES staff to refreshing specialty lemonades.
Thank you to the students and families who are sending words of thanks and presents of appreciation to our educators this week and throughout the year.
Summer Camp
Thank you to
Adairsville Coffee Company
for filling a 5-gallon bucket with coffee grounds that Kindergarten added to our compost bin.
The soil that is created in the compost bin will be added to the raised garden bed and greenhouse for Kindergarten to study as part of their life cycles standards.
We can always use more STEM partners!
