Principal's Message
As we prepare for the Thanksgiving Holiday, I want to extend my appreciation for the positive influence, excitement for learning, and joy you show our students each day. Please enjoy the upcoming holiday with family and friends. Take time to relax and remember the importance of self-care over the next few days.

Buy a gift. Change the world. Whether it’s supporting widows in Africa, children fighting cancer, or students in your school, when you buy certain gifts at the Giving Market, you’re not just giving a gift – you’re changing the world. PUE is hosting the Giving Market in the Maker Space on Wednesday, December 4th through Thursday, December 12th from 9:30am - 1:00pm. The Giving Market provides a fun student shopping experience that promotes generosity, builds community, and celebrates giving. Every child at PUE will be given the opportunity to shop this year. Visit GivingMarket.com or the brochure you received in Tuesday folders for more details about this unique holiday shop as well as to check out gifts ahead of time. Sign up here to volunteer: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0f45afaa22a1ff2-giving1. All volunteers will receive a FREE gift and $5 to spend at the Giving Market as a thank you for your time. Plus, your generosity will serve as a great example to your child that giving is fun!
The PTA, in collaboration with the After-School Program, will be hosting a Holiday Parent’s Night Out (PNO) on December 6th from 6:30 to 9:30PM. The After-School Program will be providing childcare for this event for $15/child. You MUST pre-register and pay for the PNO by Wednesday, December 4th. Families will not be accepted that have not pre-registered and paid. Click on the following link to sign up and pay for this event: http://bit.ly/PNODecember2019. Before you head out for your night of shopping, check out the PUE Family Holiday Shop. Some PUE Family Business Owners (specific to products and health/wellness services) will be in the school foyer selling their products and services.
Returning for another year are the Polar Express and Paint your own canvas on December 13th from 6:15 - 8:45PM. The PTA will be showing the movie "Polar Express" in the gym while Ms. Hopper walks others through painting a winter themed canvas in the cafeteria. The movie is a free event, but the painting is $15/canvas. All proceeds from the painting support the PUE Art Program. Childcare is not available for this event so ALL children will need to be accompanied by an adult for both programs. Be sure to check out the sample canvas on the PTA bulletin board (posted this week). The following link can be used to sign-up/pay for the painting event: http://bit.ly/WinterScenePaint
WE NEED COOKIES!!! Do you have a favorite holiday sweet that you would love to share with the PUE staff? If so, please consider signing up to donate 1-2 dozen cookies to the PTA Cookie Store that will be held on December 20th at 11:30am in the Teacher's Lounge. Look for a sign-up genius from your child’s classroom parent!
FALL BOX TOPS CONTEST. The Fall Box Tops contest runs through December 2nd so send in your Box Tops today! The class that turns in the most labels will win a Silly String Party! Remember you can still clip Box Tops or scan your receipts to earn money for our wonderful school. The contest can only count those clipped labels, so please continue to send them in as they do have expiration dates on them.
Thank you to all of the parents that came out to the Wake County Board Advisory Council (BAC) meeting on November 18th. Hopefully you and your family found the meeting informative and it answered some of your questions on how the county handles student assignment.
Thank you PUE Families for your support & We Wish you a Beautiful Thanksgiving!!
