The 5th grade class went on an exciting trip to Boundless Adventures on Tuesday. They got to try fun ropes courses that needed balance, strength, and bravery. Each course had different challenges, and the students had to work together to figure them out. They helped and cheered for each other, which made them feel closer and more like a team. Many kids tried new things that made them feel more confident. By the end of the day, they were proud of what they had accomplished and felt closer to their classmates!

This week’s message is a simple one, but an important one: Let Love Grow.

A little kindness, encouragement, and care for one another can go a long way. Let’s keep planting those seeds at PPE and watch them grow!
