REMINDER: April vacation week is coming soon!
Recess isn’t just a break. It might actually be the best part of the school day!
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!
REMINDER: Wednesday, April 8 is now a FULL SCHOOL DAY!

We had an amazing visit this morning at PRES with Jacob Wycoff from WBZ News! 🌤️
Students got a behind-the-scenes look at life as a TV meteorologist—learning how teleprompters and green screens work—and even picked up some local weather insights from an expert in the field.
Thank you for an incredible visit, @4cast4you!
Families—be sure to tune in live Saturday morning at 7am and 8am when Jacob Wycoff gives PRES a shoutout on air! 📺✨
What a fun way to kick off the week! The Harlem Wizards brought the energy to PRES this morning with an awesome pep rally! We had a blast and can’t wait for even more excitement tonight. Don’t miss out—tickets are still available! Doors open at 6 PM, and the game tips off at 7 PM. See you there!
