PES was honored to host a Veterans Day Assembly today! Thank you to all who came to honor those who have served and are serving!






Congratulations to Mrs. DeCrane and the third grade science classes on being awarded the Whiteside County Ag in the Classroom $250 Classroom Grant. We are so excited for the opportunities this grant will bring to our 3rd Grade Science Classes!


Please join us at the Prophetstown Elementary School for a Salute to our Veterans at 10:00 am on Friday, November 10th.


The challenge is on! Please consider donating non-perishable items to help those in need!


Today for science Mrs. DeCrane took 3rd grade outside to experience the magic of the Ginkgo Tree. They have been learning about different types of living things and their life cycles. An amazing detail about the Ginkgo Tree is that it loses all of its leaves in a day or less. The kids were very happy to get to see it happen and experience it!





Due to the weather we will be doing a shortened parade route. Our route will be:
(1) Students will walk out the West Entrance onto 3rd Street
(2) Students will walk on 3rd Street
(3) Students will then walk on the Locust Street Sidewalk
(4) Students will enter the playground, and go directly into the school
We ask that parents line up on either side of Third Street or on the grass or by the cars on Locust Street. We will not be having parents on the playground as I want to get students into the school quickly.

Grandparents, with the rain, if you could wait for the 8:10 bell to ring and then come into the gym that would be VERY helpful! Thank you!!

We will be outside this morning. But please be careful as the playground will be slick!
