Athletics Update:
Varsity Wrestling - The team recorded its first dual win over the Haverling Rams Thursday night. Colton Royce and Nico Ricotta both received forfeits, while Holden Kelly, Brady Kelly, Noah Leitten, and Andrew Kelly all recorded pins for the Yellowjackets. The deciding match was up to Cooper Monteleone. It was a back and forth match with each wrestler countering with points. Cooper showed more grit in the end and earned a 9-7 decision. PCS won 39-36.
Our HS Jazz Band and Mr. Hirsch visited Perry Rotary yesterday to entertain the group with sounds of the season!
Several of Mrs. Adolf’s elementary art classes, along with the National Jr. Honor Society and Stand Up Clubs, have partnered with the Wyoming County Office for the Aging to spread holiday cheer. The clubs have been collecting a variety of items like candy, puzzles, and personal care items to be included in 350 gift bags for elderly community members that will be distributed before Christmas. Art students have made ornaments and cards that will also be included in the gift bags. We love seeing our students giving back to the community!
Today I was fortunate to observe one of my favorite brain breaks between instruction in Ms. Dominesey, Ms. Warner, and Ms. Pascoe's classroom. Students would shout "Andy's Here!" and pretend to be toys from Toy Story. It was a hilarious way to get their minds and bodies ready for their literacy lesson.
Best job, best students, best staff, best team!

The gymnastics unit is a favorite with Coach Allen's and Coach VonGunden's elementary PE students. They get to work on tumbling, balancing, running, jumping, cartwheels, climbing, and so much more. We hear that the cargo net will be making an appearance very soon!!!
During the winter sports season, it's sometimes difficult to find practice space but we love that the indoor track and field team utilizes any available space. Even if that means setting up the hurdles in the hallways.
Athletics Update:
Varsity Boys' Basketball - The team fell to York 64-34 last night. Bryce Tallman had 13 points, with Wyatt Arbo adding 11 and Tyler Harvey scoring 9.
Kudos to Mrs. Wheeler and the 5/6 grade chorus, as well as Ms. Gottschall and the 6th grade band, for an incredible in-school concert this morning! The festive music got the audience's stamp of approval as several of our UPK students were seen dancing in their seats during the performances! You can catch the concert tomorrow night, Dec. 7, at 7 pm in the Sr. High Auditorium.
"I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."
We caught Mrs. Jaques' second graders rehearsing for their upcoming production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas." This has become one of our favorite holiday traditions at PES and we can't wait to see all of their hard work come to fruition when they take the stage in a couple of weeks!

The special guest, who is visiting PCS three days a week until winter break, is guiding students through creative non-fiction prompts based on the novel, “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros. Students have really enjoyed Ms. Pavia’s two previous visits to PCS, including writer residencies last spring and over summer break. The visits are made possible by Arts for Learning WNY, in partnership with Chautauqua Institute.
A reminder for those looking to catch a concert this holiday season!

Providing our educators with incredible learning opportunities ultimately benefits our students. Mrs. Snyder, a PCS high school English teacher, was recently able to not only attend the National Council of Teachers of English conference in Columbus, Ohio, but also present about the use of video in English classes. The four-day conference, which included more than 7,000 attendees, provided learning opportunities through workshops and keynote speakers like actor Tom Hanks, as well as networking with fellow educators, authors, and English scholars. Mrs. Snyder was inspired by a poetry workshop she attended and plans to incorporate several techniques in an upcoming unit with students. She describes the experience as priceless!
Our Chapter 3 Page Turners are kicking off a new season by hosting this morning's competition!
Santa would be thoroughly impressed with all the hard work that our UPK students are putting into preparing for their Christmas program, which is Dec. 21. They have a lot of festive activities - and a few surprises - planned to make it a merry event for their families!
It's Throwback Thursday and these once little reindeer - Courtney, Allie, and Austin - are now seniors!
Congratulations to senior Zac Narowski for being named Teen of the Week by "The Daily News" and "The Livingston County News!"

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Ms. Gales' second graders decided to make some applesauce this morning. They've carefully added the ingredients and are eagerly waiting for everything to cook down so the apples can be mashed. Then they plan to enjoy the final product. Yummy!
Congratulations!

Please help us welcome Ms. Privatera to the PCS family!
Our Jr. High FFA members and Mrs. Huttar have been hard at work the last several days baking pies - 20 to be exact - to be distributed to local families for the Thanksgiving holiday next week. All the ingredients for the pies, which include pumpkin, apple, cherry and chocolate, were donated through the Stuff the Turkey Food Drive organized by our incredible PCSD Pupil Personnel Teams. The goal is to provide 12 families in our community with meal kits, along with pies, to help make the upcoming holiday extra special. Thank you to all who have donated, worked behind the scenes to organize, and have supported this initiative.
This morning, the “Give What You Can, Take What You Need” room opened at the High School. Located next to the Nurse’s Office, the space includes toiletries, personal hygiene items, and clothing that our students may need. It’s a welcoming space that will be open during school hours and students can visit without fear of judgement. Junior Tess McLaughlin and Emma McLaughlin, PCS Class of 2023, spearheaded the idea and, thanks to grant funding from The Foundation for Perry’s Educational Future, Inc. and clothing donations from the community, the space came to fruition. If you would like to donate new clothing or shoes, please drop items off at the High School Main Office.
Mrs. Emerson's Studio in Art students are practicing how to show value using ink and working to understand shadows and light sources. Practice lessons like this morning's will lead them to the ultimate goal of making 2D shapes into complex forms.
Congratulations to Karin Rice on being named LCAA Coach of the year for volleyball!!!!
It's World Kindness Day and we're sporting our cardigans in honor of Mr. Rogers, who spread a message of love and kindness.
Last Thursday, we had the honor of welcoming Mr. Frank Hollister to PES for our annual Veterans Day celebration. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Mr. Hollister served as a Navy combat corpsman in Afghanistan, providing medical care to Marines. Students learned about the hardships faced by Mr. Hollister and his fellow comrades as they served thousands of miles from home, including spending Christmas away from loved ones. He brought with him several uniforms and his combat boots, which still had dust from Afghanistan on them.
We thank Mr. Hollister for his service to our country and for sharing his experience with our students. It’s so important that children see the faces and hear the stories of those who have served and be given the opportunity to express appreciation to these individuals.
On Thursday, our unified bowlers were treated to the Walk of Champions as they prepared to compete in the season's culminating tournament. PCS out-scored Batavia and Pavilion/LeRoy with 2,711 total pins. Batavia had 2,007 and Pavilion/Leroy had 2,048. Perry now waits for the final four teams in the division to play to see their placement.
Thanks to all the bowlers, including Todd Claud, Kiara Hughes, Ashlee Davenport, Bryce Tallman, Koleden Osborne, Olivia Herman, Mason Herman, Allie Faryna, Nico Gutierrez, Peyton Lyke-Scott, Hunter Clark, James Shearman, Sawyer West, and Landon Warner. A special shoutout to Coach Goodell, Mr. Wyant, Mrs. James and Ms. Merz for all the help they provided. It was an amazing first year for all our student-athletes!
We are forever indebted to the men and women who have selflessly served so others can be free. Thank you, veterans!
We hope you'll join us on Monday!

We can't think of a cooler way to get to school! Congratulations to our Fire Prevention coloring contest winners. Thank you to our incredible volunteers who make this happen each year. Let's get today's festivities started! #PrideInTheHive #FirePreventionWeek
Let’s roll! And with that, the first-ever Bike Club at PES was off and pedaling this week. Teacher Kimmie McDanel partnered with George Wood, a 1972 PCS graduate and retired cycling coach, and volunteers Dana Skinner, Alison Smithley, Lisa Patterson and Eric Miller, to offer the opportunity to 5th and 6th graders this fall. Students can use their own bikes and helmets, or use one that Wood donated to PCSD in 2022. A huge part of the weekly rides is a focus on bike safety. The club is off to a great start with nearly 30 kids participating. #PrideInTheHive
It's become very clear over the past two weeks that our students LOVE the new playground at PES! #PrideInTheHive
