PINCHBECK'S GOT TALENT

Thanks to everyone who registered their children last week for "Pinchbeck's Got Talent 2014" - it looks like it's going to be another great show!   Individual emails should have been received by all the families of children who are participating.  Please read your email carefully, as it will provide the date and time of your child's audition as well as specific instructions regarding what your child needs to bring to the audition. We will do our very best to schedule multiple children within the same family on the same day, but cannot honor individual scheduling requests.

We look forward to working with our talented PES children!

The MIDDLE SCHOOL SCHEDULING process (Byrd Middle School) is underway.  Below, is a link for the "Middle School Transition" section of Mrs. Mayo's blog.  It has been recently updated with important information regarding Middle School Transition!  http://blogs.henrico.k12.va.us/jcsmayo/middle-school-transition    
PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDS HEALTHY BODIES

How much sugar do you and your family put into your bodies? If you added all that sugar up over the course of a year, could it stand as tall as the Apollo Rocket, or maybe weigh as much as an average fourth grader?

 

Check out the link for more of the story and to see a video.
