No School Veteran’s Day! Monday, November 11, 2024 

 

Fall Planting Day - Thank you!

Thank you to our small but mighty Fall Planting Day team. We spread mulch, trimmed, bagged, and raked. 

 

Literacy Night - Thank you!

First, thank you to all the staff who made Literacy Night a success. We appreciate the PTA for taking care of us by providing a meal and to all of the parents and students who attended! It was a great community-building event.

 

Scholastic Book Fair - Thank you! 

Thank you to Mrs. Linehan for coordinating the Scholastic Book Fair and to the parent volunteers who helped ensure that set-up, shopping, and take-down went smoothly. We appreciate you!

 

Magnet Applications for Middle School & Kindergarten

Fifth-grade families, if you have a rising 6th grader and are planning for them to attend their base school, you will need to do nothing. However, if you would like your child to attend a Magnet Middle School, you must apply to the school of your choice. The application period for Early College is December 12th. For all other magnet school applications, the deadline to apply is January 23rd. 

 

Rising Kindergarten students need to be registered at their base school. If you wish to send your rising Kindergartner to a Magnet Elementary School, the magnet application must be completed by the deadline.

 

FUNRraiser for WNC THANK YOU!

PME  adopted Hendersonville Elementary School, an elementary school in Western NC affected by Hurricane Helene. Our FUNraiser raised over a thousand dollars, and 100% of the money will support Hendersonville Elementary students and families. The five staff members who received the most money will participate in an Epic Inflatable Costume Race in front of the entire school on Nov 12th at 2:30 in the playground area.

 

Camp Options - Please Help

We love our track-out… but know that finding camps for track-out can be challenging!  

 

PME would like to provide a resource for our families to promote camps their children have had positive experiences attending. Please use the Google form below to enter the names and information of camps you would like to recommend to other PME families. The information will be compiled to promote to all families as we get near our next track-out. Thank you for helping our community!
