PES Newsletter 12/2/21
MESSAGE FROM MRS. FURMAN
Tomorrow, December 3rd, is an Early Dismissal Day (1:00 PM) and another fitness Friday for students and staff. So dress in athletic/comfy clothes.
It is hard to believe it is already December! Please remember that we go outside for recess most days so students need to dress for the weather. Children should be wearing their winter coats.
Also, please note that cars cannot drive in the bus lane.
I hope you are enjoying the beginning of the holiday season! And whatever you celebrate, I hope it is everything you wish for!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Furman
Principal

Barnes & Noble Bookfair
This December the elementary school librarians will be hosting a book fair at Barnes & Noble in Waterbury. Region 15 Elementary Libraries will get a portion of the Waterbury B and N net proceeds for the duration of the bookfair to buy books for the school library.
The Bookfair ID (12620225) can be used for online purchases from December 5th-17th and can be shared with family and friends. Students, staff, and families who choose to visit B and N at any point from December 5-12th can use a voucher when it is time to check out (at Starbucks or any other purchases in the store). Please see attached flyer and vouchers!
On December 8 from 6:30-8pm there will be a virtual storytime with holiday books being read by the elementary media specialists and elementary principals. Families can tune in to enjoy the fun. A link for the Zoom will be shared by elementary principals prior to the event.
PES PTO Coffee Fundraiser
The PES PTO has partnered with BD Provisions to sell fresh, locally-roasted coffee to be delivered just in time for winter break. Proceeds will benefit the PES PTO. Order online or return a paper order form to school by December 8th.
CCMC PJ Day 12/10/21
On December 10, 2021, PES (students and staff) are invited to participate in PJ Day for the Kids. This event honors children battling cancer at Connecticut Children's Hospital. All students and staff are invited to choose to wear PJS to school for the day... because kids in treatment don't have a choice! An optional donation of $1 (or more) will be collected and all proceeds will benefit the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children's. Last year, PES raised more than $1000 and everyone enjoyed a PJ Day!
Flyer attached here.
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.
Family Friendly Job Opportunities Available! Join the Region 15 team!
