Trenton Rosenow and Olivia Thompson were chosen by their teachers to be representatives of PES at the the Illinois Principal Association Leadership Breakfast. Both students were chosen due to their outstanding leadership both in and out of the classroom.
What their teachers had to say about their character:
"Trent is a positive leader who leads by example in everything that he does, and is someone that his friends can truly count on. Trent is a hard worker and a friend to all, and wants to make sure everyone is included. He gives 100% in and out of the classroom. "
"Olivia is one of the most kind and thoughtful students at PES. She goes out of her way to care for those around her, and make sure they are included. She leads by example in all that she does, and a friend to all. "
Thank you to our Campus students as they came over and helped with Service Day today at PES! Everyone worked hard to improve our school and our PES students loved having the 7th Graders here!
