The PES PTO is collecting costumes until 11/19/21
Don't know where to store costumes that will likely not get used again? We're happy to take gently used costumes off your hands to sell at next year's costume craze fundraiser. We raised $280 in this year's fundraiser and 100% of the funds will benefit the PES community.
Send your costumes to school with your children or drop them off in the bin located in the front entrance vestibule.
We'll be collecting costumes through Friday, November 19th.
Thank you for your support!

CCMC PJ Day 12/10/21
Give $1 – Wear your PJs – Support Kids with Cancer
PJ Day for the Kids kicks off its 11th year with a mission to not only raise money, but to honor the brave kids fighting cancer at Connecticut Children’s. Join us as students and businesses across Connecticut and Massachusetts wear their PJs for the kids.
Since 2011, hundreds-of-thousands of children in Connecticut and Massachusetts have worn their PJs to school and, simultaneously, have raised more than $1,400,000 in support of kids at Connecticut Children’s. Each year, PJ Day has inspired more and more schools and businesses across the state of Connecticut to participate. Won’t you join them?
Mrs Mastropietro will be sending out more information about collecting money for PJ day.
SCHOOL HEALTH AND SAFETY
We continue to implement mitigation strategies we used from last year (e.g. mask wearing, hand hygiene, physical distancing), we will continue to follow the guidance of local and state health officials with respect to keeping our school community safe.
Be on the lookout for detailed updates from Superintendent Smith.
