We are thrilled to announce that Popcorn Friday is back! PES students love Popcorn Friday, and so do we! We love seeing the joy on student's faces as we hand over a freshly popped bag of popcorn.
Our largest fundraiser of the year, this is a fun and energetic event in which PES kids run or walk around Strawberry Fields in order to raise money and win prizes. Many hands are needed to work before, during, and after the event.
Our Pay-It-Forward program has helped many families at our school pay for field trips, year books, popcorn friday bags, and much more. We appreciate the many hands who have contributed to keep this program going.
