PICKERINGTON PTO NEWS
April 2020
Letter from PES PTO
The PES PTO is hoping that this newsletter reaches you in good health and spirits. We know that during these times of uncertainty that many things are out of place and not only for us adults but for our students. We want to express our gratitude for all the support and cooperation that we have seen over the last couple of weeks.
We hope that all our students are having a blast learning from home and enjoying some extra family time, even though they might be missing their school staff and friends. If there is anything that we could help with please let us know. We will try our absolute best to help in any way that we can.
We would also like to take a moment and thank our community! We are all coming together and helping where we can and that is the best feeling in the world, to know that we are not alone! We would also like to thank our friends in the medical field, first responders, and those that are essential to our everyday living.
Again, please reach out to us if there is anything that we could help with. We are here for our PES Students and Families.
Hoping to see all those smiling faces soon!

PTO Meetings
Restaurant of the Month
Our Restaurant of the Month has been one thing that has also come with uncertainty with COVID-19. Our April night has been postponed. Please check for updates on our Facebook Page as we will be keeping it as up-to-date as we can with all information.
Spring Book Fair
Our Spring Book Fair was cut short and we really appreciate all the support and understanding. Our Book Fair Chair, Emily Haverfield, worked really hard to secure volunteers and make sure that each and every class was able to visit Friday, March 13th.
We were able to get all the classes in with all the help from our volunteers. Thank you to all those that helped make this happen! We wouldn’t have been able to have one without you!
