PE&T IS MOVING...to 1709 Ben Franklin Parkway!
A message from our CEO, Ms. Erin Dougherty:
Over the past twenty years, Philadelphia E&T has been serving Philadelphia’s children from a school building, located at 1420-22 Chestnut Street. Throughout that time, we have been vigilant in our efforts to secure a permanent home. I am pleased to announce that we will be moving out of 1420-22 Chestnut Street, effective July 15, 2022. We will be opening next school year at our brand new, state-of-the art facility at 1709 Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The building remains under construction and the project is nearing completion. Please be sure to continue to visit our website for photos and more details. We will communicate with you several times throughout the summer to keep you informed and updated on grand opening dates. Our construction team has worked diligently to meet all of our deadlines, but just like everything else, we have some materials delayed a few weeks and impacted due to COVID-19. We will keep you updated should any calendar adjustments become necessary.
In the meantime, while we prepare and facilitate this massive move, we have secured a temporary location for our summer enrichment programs and ESY programs at the Mummers Museum Banquet Hall in South Philadelphia, 1100 S. 2nd, Philadelphia, PA 19147. This location is easily accessible and adjacent to a large recreation center which we will utilize. Please consider signing your children up for our summer program, it will be an exciting summer with lots of trips, career/college preparatory experiences. For more information or to sign up, please contact: Mr. Kevin Cassidy at cassidyk@petchs.org.
We are still available to serve you and your children during this temporary relocation period both remotely and in-person. We will be setting up a temporary office at the same location (Mummers Museum at 1100 S. 2nd, Philadelphia, PA 19147) for our staff members, should you need any assistance in-person from July 15, 2022 through August 30, 2022 on Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9AM to 1PM. As always, you can contact us via email or phone and we coordinate with you any in-person needs you may have.
Please continue to visit our website, www.petchs.org, for the most up to date information!
We look forward to welcoming you and your children to our brand new school building in the Fall!
A Message to SGA from Ms. McWilliams
I would like to take this opportunity to write to you about how much I appreciate everything you have done throughout this year. You never let me down. Anything I needed for school, you were always there to help. I am truly grateful to you all for your help and support throughout this school year.
As for my seniors, I personally would like to thank you for everything you have done in the past three years. I loved how you were determined to get what you wanted for those dress down days. I was in awe at how you all came together as a team and completed the library. You never complained once. I could go on and on with all my memories. What I do remember the most is your willingness to listen and to lead your fellow peers in a positive direction. The very quiet talks you would have with someone who wasn’t having a good day. You never thought anyone was watching or listening but I was and it warmed my heart that there are great people still in the world. I wish you all the best in everything you do. I will never forget the SGA CLASS of 2022.
Yours truly,
Mrs. McWilliams
