A Message from Mr. Vandercar - Principal of PES
Happy 2017 Pleasantdale!
I hope your winter break was rewarding, peaceful, and refreshing. And I hope 2017 is your best year so far. Usually over any extended break from school, we will make building improvements.
Pleasantdale Elementary staff would like to thank the parents
who contributed to the sweet table during the holidays. It was an amazing assortment of baked goods and candy. Special thanks to the PTA for coordinating this much anticipated yearly event! The overflow of goodies was shared with our bus drivers...who very graciously accepted and thanked the PTA!
