Let it GLOW Sweetheart Dance!



Thanks to our amazing PTA and parent volunteers for putting together a fabulous night of fun dancing, snacks, and activities! It was a great night and another example of our wonderful PRE community!

Sharing is Caring!

If any PRE families have left over Valentines day paraphernalia, please consider donating it to our school for next year's celebration. Student's who come to school without cards to pass out, can use these items to participate in the festivities.


Donations can be sent in with their student or dropped off at the front office.

Penny Housekeeping

Ms Denise, our amazing custodian has a PSA regarding lost and found,


"PLEASE put names on all items; coats, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc … if they will do that , it will get back to their student pretty quickly. Thank you".

The Adam's Family Musical

The kids at Apex Middle have been working hard to get ready to preform The Adam's Family Musical. The show opens Feb 22nd, and two Penny Road Alum are performing, Erzsi Klieman and Alex Gibb. We would love to have as many people as possible come see the show. This could be a great opportunity for our future Cougars to get a look at the school and theater program.
