🎨 🎃 Who says pumpkins are just for carving? Ms. Melissa Johnson's kindergarten class at Pleasant Grove Elementary put their own colorful spin on fall traditions, painting pumpkins during art class with Ms. Kate Gunther! 👩🎨 ✨ Our young artists developed fine motor skills with each brushstroke while exploring color and design. The best part was watching them work together, sharing supplies and encouraging each other's creativity. It's amazing how a simple pumpkin can teach so much!
¡Celebremos nuestra diversidad! Pleasant Grove Elementary celebrated their diverse student population with its Hispanic Heritage Parade! Students wore colorful, traditional outfits and waved flags representing their culture while walking through the school halls. A big thank you to ESL teacher, Yeny Williams, for organizing this wonderful event that brought the school together and allowed our students to share their heritage.

Arts in Education Week Spotlight: At Pleasant Grove Elementary, 2nd graders explored the magic of color with art teacher Kate Gunther. Students created vibrant color wheels, demonstrating how primary colors (🔴🔵🟡) mix to form secondary colors (🟣🟢🟠). This hands-on lesson taught color relationships and laid the foundation for future art projects! 🖌️✨ #ArtsinEducation #StudentCenteredFutureFocused

PGE is very proud of 3 fifth grade boys. On their own, Levi, Massimo, and Alston sold handmade bracelets and drawings. They did so to raise money and buy canned food to donate to those in need. These exceptional young men demonstrate what it means to show kindness to others!
An application must be completed to receive free or reduced school meals for the new school year. 🥪 If your school is already eligible for free meals or you bring lunch from home, the application is still worthwhile as it provides waivers for testing and college applications! 🖥️ lunchapplication.com
