🍬 Our Candy Monster is BACK—and he’s hungry! 👀🎃

Starting Tuesday, October 6, find him out front of the commons area and help fill his belly with NEW, UNOPENED bags of candy! We’ll collect donations through Halloween week to help our students have a safe and sweet Halloween. 💙

Every bag helps! Thank you for supporting our Blu-Jays—and keeping our monster fed! 🍭

🚨 ONE MORE WEEK TO FILL OUR JAYS! 🚨

DID YOU KNOW: Last year, our students raised an incredible $8,500—this year, we’re chasing $10,000! With 180 students, if every Blu-Jay fills their Jay, we could raise more than $31,000! 🤯

This has quickly become our FAVORITE fundraiser because PES PTO keeps every single dollar raised! No products to sell and no companies taking 85–95% of the profit—every dime donated goes right back to our students!

Your support funds field trips, new field trip shirts, student activities, staff appreciation, back-to-school fun, our school carnival and even BIGGER goals this year!

💙 Fill your Jay. Crush the goal. Make amazing things happen for our kids! 💙

Friday, September 11th, 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. On the first home football game of the season, the Blu-Jays will host "First Responder & Military Appreciation Night". All first responders and service members from Pleasanton, Erie, and all communities, will receive FREE admission to the football game (please bring your ID). We will also honor them at half-time of the football game on the field.

We invite everyone to join us as we remember, honor, and show our appreciation for those who serve. 🇺🇸🏈

We are thankful to everyone who has served and serves to protect our freedom.

When community morale feels low, community involvement matters even more. 💙

We can’t always control everything happening around us, but we can control how we show up for our kids.

Our kids only get one childhood and right now, it’s right here. HERE. Let that sink in.

PTO is one small way to put our energy somewhere positive, supporting our students, encouraging our staff, creating traditions and giving our kids experiences they’ll remember. That’s the good stuff.

You don’t have to do everything. Just come. Bring an idea. Find one small way to help. Don’t just sit behind the screen and have ideas or … have complaints.

PES PTO Meeting — TONIGHT
6:30 PM | Elementary Flex Space

Small school. Big heart. Let’s create something good together. 💙

💙 WHY JOIN PTO? Because in a small school, a little help makes a BIG impact.

Our first PES PTO meeting of the year is coming up, and we would love to see some new faces around the table!

PTO isn’t just about fundraisers and meetings. Over the last few years, we’ve seen firsthand what can happen when parents, teachers, local businesses and our community work together.

The money we raise goes right back into our school by helping fund field trips, classroom needs, student activities, special events, staff appreciation and opportunities our kids may not otherwise have.

But we’ve also gained something that’s harder to put a dollar amount on: school spirit.

There is something special about watching our students get excited about their school, our staff feel supported and appreciated, and our community rally around our kids. That positive energy reaches far beyond the walls of PES.

And you do NOT have to have a ton of free time to be part of PTO. Come to meetings when you can. Volunteer for one event. Share an idea. Help behind the scenes. Sponsor something. Or simply come find out what we’re working on.

There’s a place for you here.

📅 Tuesday, September 8
⏰ 6:30 PM
📍 Elementary Flex Space

Come see what PTO is all about, bring your ideas, and help us make this another incredible year for our Blu-Jays.

Small school. Big heart. BIG things happen when we work together. 💙
