#ReadWithMissFisher for READvolution
Join me (video below) in reading What Do You Do With An Idea? and then log those minutes Pandas!! We were excited to see the increase in participation last week. PES will be participating in READvolution through November 16th. Please ask your child's teacher or Mrs. Jeremiah in the library if you have any questions.
Check our school district's progress here!
Students who document the time spent reading or being read to (try for 20 minutes daily) outside of school will earn two complimentary Carolina Hurricanes tickets when they read 800 minutes. Spend two minutes watching here to see exactly how to log in online to document your time reading.
Pumpkin Book Character Contest
Science Fair
We are excited that so many of our pandas are planning to enter an experiment in the science fair! Please note that there was a mistake on the flyer/permission form. Here are the correct dates:
Display boards are due on Wednesday, November 7. Please bring projects to the multi-purpose room as soon as you arrive in the morning.
Science Night will be on Thursday, November 15, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Class and individual projects will be displayed and we also have scientists from the community to share information and activities. Winners of the science fair will be announced and all participants will be recognized at 6:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room.
Science fair information packet that includes websites, a kid-friendly guide to the scientific method, suggestions for the display board, a rubric and Chatham County's science fair guidelines. If you would like a paper copy of the packet, just let me know. Also let me know if your child needs a display board.
Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the science fair. We look forward to seeing you on Science Night!

Panda PTA News
PTA Thrift Shop – Since 1983, over $7 million has been given to Chatham County School PTAs. 40% of profits are distributed evenly across the 17 schools and 60% is distributed based on volunteer hours. You can help PES earn a larger slice of this pie by volunteering. We need people to fill weekly workgroups and empty drop boxes. Can’t make it in the evenings? You can contact the store to be a “drop-in” volunteer who helps straighten the store, sort donations, etc. during store hours. Sign-up information for workgroups and drop boxes can be found here: SignUpGenius
Shopping Programs – Do you shop on Amazon, at Lowe’s Foods, or Harris Teeter? Be sure to register for their loyalty programs and link yourself to Pittsboro Elementary PTA. For Amazon’s program, you must use smile.amazon.com as your starting point and select PTA North Carolina Congress Pittsboro Elementary School PTA as the charity you support.
