I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Mindful Me! The skills and lessons being taught are reinforcing February's characteristic, mindfulness.
Our students explored the concept of affirmations through the story "Have you filled a bucket today?". In class, they had the opportunity to create their own "bucket" and write affirmations for their peers. It was a wonderful exercise in kindness and positivity.
I encourage you to have a conversation with your student about their bucket and different ways it can be filled.
Best Regards,
Miss Thies

A reminder - there will be a special meeting of the PLT Board of Education on Wednesday, February 7th from 6:00pm-8:00pm in the board room at district office.

The first day of Mindful Me was great! We explored the concept of mindful eating through a fun story called “No Ordinary Apple”. Each class learned ways they can use all five senses while eating. For example, the students took a close look at an apple, identifying its vibrant colors. They then practiced mindful eating with a slice of an apple, discussing new discoveries.
We encourage you to continue this practice at home. Your child also received a handout with more information.
There will be a special board meeting on Wednesday, February 7 from 6:00-8:00pm. The board will be discussing various facilities options and working through the decision-making process. Feel free to join us at any time during the two-hour session - you are welcome to arrive late or leave early based on your schedule.

Dear PLT Families,
I am continuing to monitor weather updates issued by the National Weather Service. There is a chance of continued poor weather conditions that may impact us tomorrow morning. If we are able to start at regular time in the morning, we will continue with our half day student dismissal. If we need to delay the start of school, we would cancel the scheduled early out and have students in school until regular (full day) dismissal time.
In review:
If we start at 8:00/8:20 - students dismissed at 11:30/11:50
If we start at 10:00/10:20 - students dismissed at 3:00/3:20
I appreciate your understanding as we navigate the Midwest weather conditions that have been thrown at us this month.

PES students enjoyed The Amazing Anti-Bullying BMX school assembly this morning. The anti-bullying assembly focused on kindness, positivity, and the difference that one person can make. Thank you Matt Wilhelm for an inspiring, motivating, and fun morning.
