The Great May Mix-Up is Coming to PES

By Guest Columnist Robin Sanders, Principal, Pelahatchie Elementary School

Pelahatchie Elementary School is excited to announce The Great May Mix-Up, happening May 19–21.

This special event is designed to promote strong school attendance and help us continue reducing chronic absenteeism—all while having a blast together!
 

Students can look forward to choosing from a variety of fun, engaging activities each day, including: Gimkit Challenge, Sphero Battle Bots, Junk Journaling, Tie-Dye Studio, Paper Airplane Academy, Origami Creations, GoNoodle & Bamboozled Dance Class, and so much more!

Every school day counts. When students are present, they build strong academic skills, stay connected with their teachers and peers, and gain confidence in their learning. Missing even a few days can make it harder for students to keep up, especially as we wrap up important end-of-year learning and activities.

The last weeks of school are just as important as the first. The Great May Mix-Up is a fun and meaningful way to celebrate a year of growth, reward positive attendance, and encourage students to finish the year strong. We want every student here, engaged, and enjoying these final moments together before summer break.
