Students thrive when they can learn in different environments and through different modalities. Whether they’re creating in art, moving in PE, coding in computer class, reading about faraway places in library, or exploring new ideas in STEAM, each setting supports unique ways of thinking and understanding. Related arts classes not only spark creativity and curiosity, but they also help students build confidence, collaboration skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

We’re proud to share that we have been awarded $1.5 million to expand Career & Technical Education opportunities for our students.
This investment will launch new Culinary Arts and Criminal Justice programs, providing students with hands-on experience, industry certifications, and real-world pathways to high-demand careers. Through strong partnerships with local colleges, employers, and workforce leaders, we’re igniting a future where every student is empowered with a clear path shaped for success.

Every day, kids head outside and just get to be kids. They run around, make up games, solve little playground problems, and laugh with friends. When they come back inside, they’re happier, more focused, and ready to learn. The American Academy of Pediatrics even calls recess a crucial part of child development, and research continues to show it has only positive benefits, from improving focus and memory to reducing disruptive behavior, strengthening social skills, and helping kids stay active and healthy. Fresh air, sunshine, and a little freedom go a long way.
Daily recess means happier kids, better learning, and a whole lot more joy. See for yourself!

Earlier this week, Palmer River Elementary School proudly recognized several students nominated by staff as role models for March’s Monthly Mindset: Perseverance!
Each month, PRES staff nominate students who exemplify the featured mindset. Honorees receive an award and a token for “Inchy,” our book vending machine.
These students shine in the face of challenges. They work hard, give their best effort, and never give up. They are goal-oriented and are not afraid to make mistakes, showing us all what perseverance looks like in action.
We admire their determination and look forward to recognizing even more students next week!

We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
