Dress the Teacher

Today's PCElympic relay was dress the teacher, and we came in second place, earning a silver shoe! We had a blast at PE, and displayed our 'yellow' spirit all day long.

PCElympic Opening Ceremonies

Today was the first day of the PCElympics!

It was an exciting day and will be such a fun week.  Opening ceremonies kicked things off with grade level floats, class banners, music, and plenty of Olympic spirit and pageantry.

We are Team Taff!

We even won a bronze medal in today's PE competition.  Check back each day this week for more exciting updates on how we are doing.

Let the games begin!

PCElympics --- Next Week!!!

The 3rd annual PCElympics are coming up the week of May 13-17.  We are trying to bring the Olympic spirit to PCES.  We will not have field day t-shirts this year.  Instead, we are asking the students and teachers to wear certain colors of the Olympic rings on certain days.

Monday the 13th - Wear a RED shirt
Tuesday the 14th - Wear a YELLOW shirt
Wednesday the 15th - Wear a BLUE shirt
Thursday the 16th - Wear a BLACK shirt
Friday the 17th - Wear a GREEN shirt

Your child will be involved in class competitions during their PE time every day.  They will compete against other classes in relays, tug-of-war, and other activities for a chance to win golden shoe trophies.

We will have our opening ceremonies Monday, May 13, at 8:30 a.m.  Each class will make a banner to be in hte parade, which will go around the school twice.  Students that are not involved in holding banners will sit along the outside of the hallway to watch the parade.

The closing ceremony will be Friday, May 17.  THIS EVENT IS FREE TO YOUR CHILD.  This is the day students look forward to the most.  We will have water slides, slip-n-slides, kiddy pools, soapy tug-of-war.  Snacks will be sold for $1 (popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones) and we will also have a dunking booth this year.  Your child will have the opportunity to dunk a teacher or a coach!  The cost for the dunking booth will be 25 cents per throw.  Third grade closing ceremonies will last from 12:30-2:30 p.m.

As always, you are invited to watch your child compete in the events during their PE time.  You are also invited to come for the closing ceremonies and enjoy getting wet and have fun with your child!
