Remote Learning update. Thank you for coming out to pick up your child's materials. We had an excellent turnout with almost 90%. I will be in the office tomorrow from 8:30-12:00 if you'd like to pick up a packet.

Remote learning packets will be ready at 1. Please enter and exit through the GYM door.

This just in..... PES Math Team takes THIRD place at the Southern Maine Elementary Math League meet held today in Portland.

SAFETY NOTE With the snow melting, sun getting stronger and temperatures rising, the staff and I have noticed that children who are being picked up are not heading straight to vehicles. We think it's wonderful that children are playing outside with friends. However, for safety reasons, I'm asking that parents, grandparents or others who pick up students head out back to our safe and spacious playground. Running around and playing with friends on the front lawn, that is so very close to the road, is extremely dangerous. Again, there are many fun pieces of equipment to use on the playground and even a bench and picnic table for adults who are supervising to sit and visit. Please help us get everyone home safe and sound.

Spontaneously, today we had ponytail day in kindergarten! Next week we're planning "camo" day with the boys.

There is still time to place your Mixed Bag order! Orders can be returned to school until tomorrow. Online orders can be placed anytime!!

Students in Mrs.Tardif's first grade class had fun recently with ice experiment and testing out insulators! The children's reactions as the results were unveiled were priceless - lots of giggles and gasps!

We had a wonderful surprise today, two very generous donations from the Popham Circle Woman's Club. One to our Grandmother's fund and the other to the Bath Area Back Pack program. This donation will help many students at PES. What a great community Phippsburg is!

Congratulations to our 5th Grade Math team for their 15th place finish at the Southern Maine Elementary Math League competition! What a great first showing. Thank you Coach Patty McLaughlin for volunteering to work with this group each Wednesday during Great Start.
