We look forward to every new Pick Leader finding out what PES 7 Habits Team they will be on at our Pep Rally this Friday! All 3rd graders and students and teachers that are new to the Pick Family this year will be our VIP's as we countdown to the envelope opening reveal for our Leaders to officially join their team!

At PES, we will continue to study and learn more about the habits throughout the year. As Leaders, we want to grow in all these life skills and exhibit them daily. Students will learn more about the habits as we focus on one each month. The Habit Teams are a fun way for us to show Pick Pride and celebrate the leadership we see in one another! Students earn points for their teams each month through various opportunities to showcase school spirit and as teachers see students exhibit leadership!

4th and 5th Grade Students: Please wear your team color on Friday for the big reveal! Students will have an opportunity to order a 2024-2025 Team shirt with an order form that will be released on Friday.

We are off to great start this school year, and that is due to the TEAMWORK of our students, parents, PTO, and staff! Thank you for your support! We are very proud of our successful start to the year as everyone is adjusting to new routines, schedules, and procedures! Student safety is our top priority. At the beginning of the year, our team works very hard to establish routines for every part of our school day to support this. In addition, we are focusing on fostering relationships and creating a positive and productive classroom climate to support student success all year long!

PES Families,

We love to support our Tigers! If you go to cheer on the AHS Tigers this Friday (8/23) for the first home game of the season, please be sure to follow the Duck Samford Stadium Guidelines.

To make the Friday night football game experience at Duck Samford Stadium safe for all spectators and fun for all families, the following guidelines are in effect:

• Students in Kindergarten through 9th grade and non-school age children MUST be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.

• All students are expected to be seated in the stands unless utilizing the bathroom facilities or concessions with adult supervision. Running and/or playing on the stadium concourse or near concession areas is prohibited.

• Students found loitering in groups outside the seated areas will be required to leave the stadium.

• Auburn Police Department officers will be monitoring the adjacent parking facilities and persons attending the football game will be asked to enter the stadium. Loitering will not be permitted.

• Home fans should purchase tickets for the home side only and be seated on that side. Visitors should purchase tickets for the visitor’s side only and be seated on that side. There will be no crossover between home and visitor seating.

Our goal is to have a safe, secure, and enjoyable environment at Duck Samford Stadium. We appreciate your cooperation and your support at school events!
