📚 📣 The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Paloma the week of March 11th - 15th, bringing a world of exciting books and stories right to our fingertips! Fair is open everyday after dismissal (yes, even kinder dismissals😉) or you can come shop with your student when they come shop with their class. 💰 Want to make shopping at the fair even easier and faster? Set up your eWallet today using this link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/PalomaRocks.

Garden Club Part 2!

The PES Garden Club had a great time today creating art from slices of wood! So much creativity and so much fun! Thank you, Mrs. Polhill and Mrs. Ward for supporting this club!

🍎🍎🍎Today at Paloma our Apple Seedlings Program is off and running! Two students from every K-5 class have been trained to help other students navigate and troubleshoot technology in the classroom. Seedlings participated in training held before school and today conducted classroom presentations that showcased some basic iPad skills. Our Seedlings did an AMAZING job and watching them in action presenting to their peers was inspiring! Thank you to our OnSite Technology Experts, Mr. Cruz and Mrs. Green, and our Instructional Coach, Mrs. Rowland for all of your work getting this program off the ground at Paloma!🍎🍎🍎
