The End is Near
Thank you to all of the parents that helped to pack up field day before the storm rained down on us. Thank you to Mr. Lutteroty for all of his hard work in putting field day together, it is a huge undertaking. We were lucky the the rain and hail held off until the end. The afternoon group received their popsicles in their classrooms. All in all, only 15 minutes of the day was lost. Not bad!

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.

WE LOVE TO READ!
Scholastic Book Fair
The students, staff, and parents nearly bought out the entire book fair. In only four days, most of the books sent to Pennell were bought for individual use or purchased for a classroom. It is amazing to see so many students excited about reading. Can't wait to see how many million word readers we have this and next year!
FIELD DAY 2022
Field Day was a roaring success. Students in all grades participated in fun activities throughout the day with their class, whole grade, and whole school. Mr. Lutteroty kept the energy pumping through Pennell the entire day, while PTO kept everyone cool with popsicles.
GIRLS ON THE RUN
PENNELL MUSIC
All of their hard work paid off! Girls on the Run and their faculty mentors took the 5K by storm Saturday. Our students learned grit and resilience on top of how to increase their strength and stamina. Thank you!
The Pennell chorus and band teamed up with their counterparts across the district to sing the National Anthem at the Blue Rocks game Sunday afternoon. They knocked it out of the park! (video link)
Summer Opportunity
There are currently two opportunities for some summer fun at Penn-Delco. Plus the popular transition camp for incoming sixth grade students. Geocaching, choral camp and an opportunity for incoming middle school students to get to know their new school and each other are all featured this summer. Check out the opportunities for growth and fun and sign up today.
