💙 THANK YOU, PES! 💙

What an amazing turnout for our Back to School Bash! We are so grateful to everyone who helped make the night such a success.

A HUGE thank you to all of our parent, teacher and student volunteers who jumped in wherever they were needed — helping with setup, games, popcorn, ice cream, cleanup and everything in between. We truly could not have done it without you!

🍦 Big Dipper Ice Cream served ice cream steadily for two hours and kept that line moving!

🍔 Marty’s Food Truck — Marty and Mary were absolutely amazing! They kept up with an incredible crowd, sold out of French fries and ended the night with just ONE burger left!

🎤 DJ Jake — for MC’ing another PES event like a boss and keeping the energy going all night!

📸🍿 Dave Jones Realty — thank you for generously letting us use the photo booth and popcorn machine!

A huge thank you to our PES custodial staff for being so kind, helpful and accommodating with everything we needed before, during and after the event.

❤️ And thank you to Mrs. LoRusso and SOAR the Cardinal for making sure our favorite cardinal made a special appearance! The kids loved seeing SOAR join the fun!

Finally, thank you to all of our PES families who came out! Seeing so many kids and families together enjoying the night is exactly what these events are all about.

It truly takes a village, and we are so lucky to have such an amazing PES community. ❤️

Thank you for making the Back to School Bash such a fun and memorable night!

Our mum fundraiser has officially come to an end, and we want to MUM FUNDRAISER — THANK YOU!

Our mum fundraiser has officially come to an end, and we want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported it by placing an order, volunteering, helping with deliveries, and spreading the word. We are so grateful to our PES families for making this fundraiser such a success!

A quick note regarding the 10 orders that were not picked up: our team has done our best to contact the families directly. The remaining orders have been labeled and are still located in the pickup area at the back of the school. At this point, the PTO is not responsible for any damage or unaccounted-for mums.

A very special shoutout to all of our amazing volunteers who gave their time and energy to help make everything run smoothly. We also want to give an extra special thank you to Jen Bates from Whippersnappers for jumping in to help us with delivery yesterday, especially while working through the rain! We truly appreciate you!

And a HUGE thank you to Jessica Massetti and Nicole Gaspar for chairing this fundraiser and putting so much time and effort into making it happen. We are incredibly grateful for everything you both did!

Fundraisers like this truly take a village, and we appreciate every person who helped make it possible. Thank you again to all of our PES families for supporting the PTO and making this fundraiser a success! ❤️❤️
