Being a new member of the Providence family, I was amazed to see the way our school community came together as a family this week. Whether it was conferences where parents came out to show support for their child’s education and the teachers. Or if it was the way families enjoyed spending time with their children and each other at the Thanksgiving luncheon, the strong bonds and relationships that are evident here are what makes our school so special. We served over 1,500 meals as staff members, parent volunteers, and 4th-6th grade hosts provided hospitality to our guests. And weren’t those 10 foot tall turkeys amazing?!

Today at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year, our school paused for a moment of silence to recognize and honor the veterans of the U.S. armed forces. While this Remembrance day began in 1918 to mark the ending of World War I, we now have multiple generations of veterans to whom we owe our thanks. Our students at PES had the opportunity today to gain a greater understanding of the sacrifices others have made on their behalf so that they might enjoy the freedoms of our country.
So from all of us here, we say THANK YOU to our veterans near and far for their service to country and for the sacrifices they have made for each of us.
