Don’t forget, Warrior families, tomorrow is the battle of the bridge! That means, the food drive will end tomorrow as well. If you were bringing food items, those must be at PES by 9 AM. If you are donating money, you can do so through the QR code on the graphic, or come by the school before nine and make the donations in the office. Our community is so grateful of all of your support and it goes to show what you can do when you work together for a common cause. Go Redskins!

It is a huge week for our community! The Battle of the Bridge is not only an amazing football game, it's a week that leads to providing a large amount of food to those in our community that are in need for nearly the entire year. As always, 100% of our donations will go to support our Redskins.

Please see the attached image to find methods of donation, timelines, etc. There will be a pizza party provided for the winning home room. However, the real winner is our community. Thank you to the Good Samaritan Center and all they do. Warriors, you know what to do, LEAD THE WAY!

We are so thankful for all of our teachers and staff here at PES! Can you help J&K’s Kitchen reach their goal to provide a treat for all of our amazing staff? See the information below to help out! 💜💛

We have ONE WEEK to reach our goal! 🎉 Friday, August 28th, we’re heading to Philadelphia Elementary School! 💙💜💛

With the incredible support & generosity of our community, we have 14 drinks sponsored for the teachers and staff so far.

Our goal is to serve the 95 teachers and staff members of Philadelphia Elementary for free with the help from our community. 81 more to go!

This time, we are giving ourselves a little more time to spread the word because we never expected the incredible flow of messages and support we received for our last school-sponsored event. You all absolutely blew us away!

If you’d like to sponsor a teacher or staff member, send us a message for details. Donations can be made through Venmo, Cash App, or by giving us a call.

✨ A little something special: All sponsors will be listed by name at our window on the day of the event so the teachers and staff can see the incredible people who helped make this possible!

Also, if you’d like to sponsor a specific teacher or staff member, you can also send us a sweet note for them! We’ll handwrite your message on a thank-you card and send it along with their beverage. 💌☕️ It’s a sweet way to remind them just how appreciated they are!

Let’s come together and bless another Loudon County school next week! ❤️

95 staff members. 1 week. Let’s do this! ☕️❤️🫶🏻

🎉 Welcome Back, Warriors! 🎉

The halls of Philadelphia Elementary School are full once again, and there is nothing quite like the excitement of the first day of school! 💜💛 As we celebrate our 100th First Day of School, we’re so grateful to welcome back our students, families, and staff for another year of learning, laughter, and making memories.

For 100 years, PES has been a place so many have called home, and every first day marks the beginning of another chapter in our story.

📸 We want to see your first day memories! Share your favorite first day of school photo in the comments—whether it’s from this year or from years gone by. We’d love to celebrate the generations of Warriors who have walked these halls!

Here’s to a year filled with growth, friendship, and unforgettable moments. Welcome home, Warriors! 💜💛
