More Park Day fun! Our students played their hearts out and took full advantage of the gorgeous day outdoors. Even the “big kids” got in on the fun and played too! What a wonderful day for everyone! ☀️❤️🖤

Our 1st–3rd graders had the BEST Park Day! We enjoyed a hot dog lunch, beautiful weather, and lots of time to run, play, and make memories with friends. The smiles say it all! ❤️🌭🛝

Happy frog dissection day! The 8th graders (most of them) LOVED cutting open frogs today to learn the ins and outs of how frogs catch and digest their food. We even found some shells and crab remains in some of their stomachs! 7th grade gets their turn with worms next week!

It has been a busy week, but it has also been Teacher Appreciation Week and our staff deserves every bit of recognition! 📚 Last Friday, the staff enjoyed El Toro to kick off the celebration! 🍎 Monday started with donuts donated by Casey’s along with a coffee bar. 📌 Tuesday featured a rolling snack cart filled with 90s snacks, plus pizza donated by Casey’s. (There are still plenty of snacks being enjoyed!) ✏️ Wednesday was all about dips and chips/pitas for everyone to enjoy. ✂️ Today, our staff and even our mailman, started the morning with drinks from Mixed Up Mobile! Lunch was pizza donated by The Foundation Trust Company. (I may have forgotten that teachers are “all that and a bag of chips,” so chips will be coming tomorrow!) 🖇️ Tomorrow, we’ll wrap up the week with a delicious catered lunch from ET’s for the staff. I am incredibly thankful to the parents who donated items and money to help make this week so special. A special thank you also goes to my mom, who came through when I was worried we might run short on snacks! When you have an amazing school, it starts with amazing teachers. They truly are the backbone of everything we do. I hope they know I will always support them, because I could not do my job without them. I appreciate them more than words can express. Being a principal can be challenging, but having a staff like mine makes even the toughest days so much easier. ❤️🖤-Ms. Freeman

Today is one of my favorite days of the year! I had the privilege of accompanying two outstanding 8th grade students selected by the PGS staff. These students are chosen for the qualities that reflect what it means to be an all-around exceptional person. This year, I was honored to take Lydia Esteppe and Kendall Leigh to the Vermilion County Principals’ Association Student Recognition Ceremony. Great job, girls! We wish you the best in high school! -Ms. Freeman
