Mrs. Polizotto shared great photos of a recent project with 3rd graders: The third grade class created a banner for Banners Over Bath, which will be on display throughout the month of April. The theme this year is Flora and Fauna. Students sketched their ideas, transferred them to the banner and then painted them. The banner was sponsored by Liz Wyman, a Phippsburg resident. Thank you, Liz!

Our students had a BLAST when visited by the Harlem Triksterz today! We heard great music, saw amazing tricks, and students heard some positive messages, too. Thank you , Mrs. Bennett, for the great photos and to the Phippsburg PTA for sponsoring the visit to PES! The Harlem Triksterz will be performing tonight at BMS, starting at 6:30PM. Tickets are $15 at the door for great family fun and a fundraiser for BMS.
