First grade students enjoyed an immersive field trip experience at Stonewall Farm in Keene this week. The Adapt and Survive program focused on "which animals run away from the cold, which animals sleep their days away, and which animals have changed over time to withstand cold conditions." Thank you to the first grade teachers that organized this event, the parents that volunteered their time to chaperone, and Stonewall Farm for welcoming us.

The holiday season is upon us and with that brings our Winter Concert. The PES Winter Concert will be held on Thursday, December 5th, 2024. While this event is not a requirement, we certainly hope you and your child(ren) will join us!

To accommodate our larger community, the concert will be in two segments this year. Kindergarten, first, and second grade will start their half of the program at 5:30 PM and we kindly ask that they show up fifteen minutes early (5:15 PM) to get into places.

Third and fourth grade will then start the second half of the program at 6:30 PM and should also arrive fifteen minutes beforehand (6:15 PM) to get into places.

When students arrive they should go straight to the cafeteria to find their class, and families may go to the gymnasium and take a seat.

Students have been working hard to practice their concert songs and look forward to sharing them with you!

The Children and the Arts Committee is very excited about the lantern parade!

Saturday, December 7th at 6:00 PM in Peterborough, NH

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are writing to let you know that Peterborough Elementary School recently completed testing for lead in drinking water. This is part of an ongoing effort related to New Hampshire state law RSA 485:17-a, which requires school and childcare facilities to test for lead in drinking water and to act when lead is found at levels at or above 5 parts per billion (ppb).
