Congratulations to our 2025-26 Cub Ambassadors! This group of 4th and 5th grade students are exceptional peer leaders in and out of the classroom. They are looking forward to representing their fellow cubs and PHESA this year!

October is National Fire Prevention Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about fire safety through public education. In celebration, PHESA Beta Club wanted to show appreciation to our local firefighters for everything they do to protect and educate our community. ❤️👩🚒👨🚒
Our Beta members put their hearts into service by creating special handmade cards, baking delicious brownies, and personally delivering them to our local fire station. These acts of kindness remind us that recognizing and supporting our first responders is more than a kind gesture—it’s a civic duty.
Service and community support are at the heart of Beta Club’s mission, and our students continue to demonstrate what it means to be engaged citizens who lead with gratitude and compassion. 💙💛

Our 4th graders took their erosion knowledge outside the classroom and onto the PHESA school grounds! As part of their PBL journey, students searched for real-life signs of erosion like washed-away soil, exposed roots, and runoff paths. Then, they put their heads together to brainstorm creative, practical solutions to help protect our campus. From observations to problem-solving, they’re learning how science connects to the world around them and how they can make a difference! 🧠🌱

Our 1st graders have been exploring the difference between natural light and artificial light—and their discoveries were glowing! 🌞💡 Using pictures and headings, students sorted examples into two columns, learning how to organize ideas visually.
As part of their PBL unit, teachers modeled a class chart of AVID two-column notes, and students worked together to add information. This hands-on activity was a brilliant first step toward building note-taking skills and organizing their thinking like pros! 🌟
