The End is Near

As we jump into the last five weeks of school, many exciting events are approaching. Please look for information from your child's teacher in the Pennell folders and through email. It is a very busy time of year as teachers balance student learning and assessment, end of year celebrations, and classroom preparation for summer break. Amazing memories will be made in these final days. Feel free to reach out to the main office with any questions.

Pennell Concert Series Success

Band A and Band B rocked the stage Tuesday, 5/10, with Mr. Orlando and his two student teachers.

The Art Show was a great success thanks to Mrs. Gordon and all of her little artists.

The Pennell chorus put on a beautiful show after working diligently with Mrs. O'Kane all year.

Phanatical Guest!

Phanatic About Reading

We had a special guest on Thursday who gave the best assembly we've ever had. The Philly Phanatic chose Pennell Elementary after reading the essay that Ms. Cardwell wrote about her excellent readers in first grade. After hearing about such amazing students, the Phanatic and Xfinity decided they had to visit and show their appreciation for all the hard work our students and faculty put into reading every day. Ms. Cardwell read the Phanatic's favorite book as he acted it out. Check out our Twitter to see more pictures and video.

Principal for the Day

Adriana Miles won the Principal for a Day drawing at Bingo Night. She started the day by doing the morning announcements and pulling the fire alarm for a drill. She had a very full day of walking the school, making decisions, meeting with the superintendent, and welcoming our special guest, the Philly Phanatic. She rewarded the fifth grade with and extra recess at the end of the day as her final act. After such a great day, she's hired!
