PES Around Our School January 10, 2022

The Fall 2021 Enrichment Grant Applications have been submitted, vetted by Dr. Beaver and the PTO Board, and voted on by the PES Community. All 4 applications have been approved. The projects can be found on our website at: http://www.mypespto.com/enrichment-grants.html

All PES parents and guardians were given the opportunity to vote during the week of 12/13/21 and we had 86 votes in total. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this grant review.

Pocopson Elementary School PTO would like to invite the community to participate in our MLK Day of Service- at home on Monday, January 17th, 2022.

All items can be dropped off on Monday, January 17, 2022 at the front doors of Pocopson Elementary School. There will be several collection bins. Please note that the Chester County Food Bank Drive is just virtual, we will not collect physical food at this time.
