Learning is sweet at PGE!
A Message from Ms. Bruhn, Principal
Next week is Red Ribbon Week. We will participate in activities that highlight the importance of living a drug-free life!. I hope your students will be able to participate in our dress up days. Please see the calendar below.
On Friday, we will have our annual Character Parade. Students are encouraged to dress in a favorite book character. The parade will be at 9am. Parents are welcome to attend. Please enter through the cafeteria. We will travel around the hallways and through the cafeteria so you can see your child.
School pictures are ready!
To order, log in to your account on mylifetouch.com or create an account using your student's student ID number.
All families can also log on and order a FREE Digital SmileSafe card.

Birthday Cupcakes/Cookies: We love to celebrate students' birthdays with cupcakes or cookies. Be sure to drop off store-purchased treats prior to the student's scheduled lunch period or you can send them in the morning with students who are able. Teachers are not available to pick up treats after lunch time. We do not allow balloons or party favors. Each birthday is celebrated on the announcements as well.
