All students, teachers and staff (other than 12-month employees) will be off Wednesday, Jan. 25, due to inclement weather.

Freddy's Fundraiser on Tuesday, Dec 6 from 5-9pm.
Don't forget to drop off your turkeys tomorrow for the No Hunger Holiday!
This morning our students and staff at PPE welcomed veterans with breakfast and an assembly. Our student lighthouse team helped organize and lead the event. Thank you to our PPE choir. You did amazing! Thank you to our guest speaker, Major Storm, for speaking at our assembly. Our lighthouse team scribe was able to interview a number of veterans that attended. Of the nine veterans, six served in the Army, two served in the Navy, and one served in the Marines. The nine veterans that were interviewed have served fifty-seven years combined. Our veterans are proud of serving for the country, the people they served with, and their accomplishments. That’s what teaches us how to be brave. Thank you!
Don't forget that No Hunger Holiday collection is Wednesday, Nov. 16. Simply drop off a frozen turkey at any Westside drop off location when you drop your student off at school! Thank you for helping our neighbors in need!
PPE Spirit Wear Winter Sale is open now until November 20.
