Hello PLES!


Thank you Mr. Nayden, Mr. Ross, Mr. Pearce, Mr. Byrnes, Mr. Lober, Mr. Foster, Mr. Decker, Mr. Horn, and Mr. Proto for being our Watch D.O.G.S. today! We certainly appreciated the extra help at field day!


Today was the last day of Watch D.O.G.S. for the year! We would like to thank everyone who volunteered this year! Are you interested in being a Watch D.O.G. next year? Summer is the perfect time to work on getting your clearances so you are ready to go at the start of the year. The program will continue to run at PLES next year and will also be expanding to AGIS!


It was a great field day at Penn London! Thank you to all the volunteers! Check out Instagram for pictures: @pennlondon_es.

Learning Spotlight

As the end of the year comes quickly, Ms. B’s class is doing some fun review. Using shaving cream, the kids love to practice their letters, words, sentences and even some numbers and shapes. Although the kids love the shaving cream, Ms. B loves the clean tables afterward! Try this at home this summer or use a bucket of water and paint brushes outside to keep your child practicing!

PBIS and Bucket Filling

Friday, June 9th will be our end of year celebration for bucket filling! Students will participate in a parade, dance party, have popsicles and learn how many bucket bucks we earned this whole school year. Students and staff are encouraged to wear purple on Friday, June 9th.

PTA Update

  • There are a few committee chair positions and committee roles left to fill for the upcoming year. We are 100% volunteer based, by parents just like you! Many committees need more than 1 chair; if you have a friend or friends who can help as a team, let us know! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to volunteer. See the image below.
  • Back by popular demand, we have partnered again with 1st Day School Supplies to provide a quick and easy way to get all required school supplies for the next school year! It is a super convenient way to get all the top and trusted branded school supplies without needing to shop around in the summer. The supplies are shipped to your home prior to the start of school and a portion of the sales is returned to the Penn London PTA to help fund programs for our students!

Student Resources and Supports


  • If your student has been sent home in borrowed clothes from the nurse, please wash and return them as soon as possible.
  • Thank you for your donations to the clothes supply in the nurse's office! We appreciate your generosity!
