Happy Friday PHE Families:
On behalf of our teachers and staff, I would like to thank everyone for all of the kind notes, snacks and flowers we have received this week! These gestures really make our staff feel appreciated and is a part of what makes working at PHE feel special.
I am also grateful for the amazing participation in last week's Super Mega Awesome Dance Party. A great effort from everyone involved, and a heartfelt thank you from me, personally.
Lastly, I would like to take a moment and recognize our team members who will be retiring or moving on to other endeavors at the end of the school year. Please join us in thanking the following team members for their years of service to PHE and to education as a whole: Lulu Kennedy (Kindergarten), Brooke Euser (4th grade teacher), Amanda Griffin (paraprofessional) and Jennifer Horan (paraprofessional). We wish you all the best! If you would like to write a note of well wishes, please deliver those to Ms. Bixby (or the office) by May 27th. As a note to families, we are in the process of successfully hiring these positions for next year.
