Paul Road Elementary School

💚💙 Our Panther families had an amazing time at this year’s annual Panther Palooza! From games, dancing, delicious food, bounce houses, and the Gaga pit to a special visit from the fire truck and firefighters from the Chili Fire Department, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Our brand-new mascot even made an appearance and helped make the evening extra memorable! ☀️

A heartfelt thank you to all of our families who joined us and helped make the event so much fun. We are also incredibly grateful to PRSFA for their fundraising efforts and the many volunteers who dedicated their time to make events like this possible for our students and families.

What a fantastic way to celebrate our Panther community! 💙🐾

🎶 It was a very musical week at Paul Road! 🎶

Our Panther musicians helped fill the halls with music as the Paul Road Band performed for our third and fourth graders, introducing them to their instruments and sharing what makes band such a fun and rewarding experience.

The excitement continued when the high school show choir stopped by to perform for our third, fourth, and fifth graders. Their incredible talent, energy, and enthusiasm had everyone engaged and inspired!

We are so fortunate to be part of a district that offers so many opportunities for students to explore their musical interests and talents. From elementary school through high school, there are countless ways for our Panthers to get involved, and we can’t wait to see where their musical journeys take them! 🎵💙🐾

☀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ What a beautiful day for our annual Fifth Grade Track & Field Meet!

Our Grade 5 Panthers enjoyed a day of friendly competition against the Dragons, Bears, and Stars, showcasing their athletic skills, determination, and teamwork. From the track events to the field competitions, our students gave their best effort and cheered one another on every step of the way.

Most importantly, they represented Paul Road with outstanding sportsmanship, respect, and Panther pride throughout the day. We are so proud of all of our fifth graders for making this event such a fun and memorable experience!

💙🐾 Way to go, Panthers! 🐾💙

💙💚 A New Panther Tradition Begins! 💚💙

Today was an exciting day at Paul Road as students got their very first look at our brand-new school mascot!

Our newest Panther made a surprise appearance, bringing plenty of smiles, high-fives, and some seriously impressive dance moves! The energy and excitement were contagious as students welcomed the newest member of our school community.

There’s just one thing missing…

🐾 A name! 🐾

When we return in September, students will have the chance to help name our mascot through a school-wide contest. We can’t wait to see their creativity and kick off the new school year with a fun new tradition.

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning! 🐾💙💚

Kindergarten and first grade panthers have been crushing their cafeteria behavior this year! They earned a “fancy lunch” to celebrate their success!

MEET OUR GREAT CREW: Third-grade teacher Nick Warner approaches each day at Paul Road Elementary School with positivity and enthusiasm. He fosters an environment where learning is both meaningful and fun. His energy and genuine connection with students make a lasting impact inside and outside the classroom. Thank you for all that you do, Nick! GCCares

What a fantastic day on the Erie Canal! 🚤

Our fourth graders set sail on an exciting learning adventure, traveling eight miles from Lock 32 in Pittsford to Fairport while exploring the rich history and lasting impact of the Erie Canal. Along the way, students learned how the canal helped shape New York and played a vital role in the growth of our country.

Experiences like these bring history to life, and our Panthers did a wonderful job asking questions, making connections, and representing our school with pride. What an unforgettable day of learning on one of New York’s most iconic waterways! 💙💚

🌈 June is Pride Month, a time to recognize the history, contributions and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and communities.

Originally established to commemorate the events of June 1969 that helped advance the movement for equal rights, Pride Month is also an opportunity to celebrate diversity and the importance of belonging.

At Gates Chili, we believe everyone belongs. This month and every month, we celebrate the unique perspectives, experiences and identities that make our community stronger. 💙🤍

⚾️ Wiffleball Club wrapped up the season in the best way possible this morning—with an epic Staff vs. Students showdown!

Our Panther players came ready to compete and handed the staff a tough 10–4 defeat. Despite a few questionable coaching decisions and some aging legs in the field, the staff gave it their best effort. 😅

Congratulations to our student champions on a well-earned victory, and thank you to everyone who participated in making Wiffleball Club such a fun way to start the day. Until next season… the staff will be hitting the batting cages! 🥎🐾💙💚

Our Panthers had an amazing day competing at the Special Olympics! 💙💚

From the opening ceremonies to every race, event, and celebration, our athletes showed incredible determination, sportsmanship, courage, and joy. We are so proud of the way they supported one another, gave their best effort, and represented our school community with pride.

A huge thank you to all of the staff, volunteers, families, and supporters who helped make this such a special day.
