Palm City Elementary School

🥳Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Mrs. Miles! 🥳

Character Counts Week is Oct. 19-23!

🐾 Our Wildcats had a WILD time at the Environmental Studies Center! Our 4th graders explored the mangroves, learned all about the Indian River Lagoon, discovered local wildlife, searched for plankton under microscopes, and got hands-on at the touch tanks! 🌊🔬🦀 Thank you to our amazing teachers at ESC! Learning is always more fun when we can get outside and experience it firsthand! 💙🐾

🌟 Character Counts: Citizenship! 🌟

September at Palm City Elementary was all about learning what it means to be a good citizen! 💙

Our students showed Citizenship by making responsible choices, following school rules, helping others, respecting our school community, and doing their part to make Palm City Elementary a great place to learn and grow. 🐾✨

We are so proud of our students for showing that small acts of kindness, responsibility, and respect can make a BIG difference!

Keep shining, Palm City Wildcats! 💙🐾

🌿🪼 Learning in the Lagoon! 🌊🦐 Our third grade students had an incredible hands-on learning experience at the Environmental Studies Center! They explored the amazing world of our local lagoons and learned all about the native plants and wildlife that call this ecosystem home. They even had the opportunity to go seining! Getting right into the water to discover these creatures in their natural habitat! 🥽🌊 They were excited to find seahorses, jellyfish, shrimp, and so much more! 🐚🦐🪼

🥳Congratulations to our Teachers of the Month, Mrs. Oliveri and Mrs. Carbaugh! 🥳

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day to our amazing custodial team! Thank you for all you do each day to keep our school clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for our Wildcats to learn and grow. We appreciate you more than you know! 🐾✨

Our third graders have been learning all about plot and theme through the classic tale of King Midas! Students created their very own plot diagrams on crowns, identifying the key parts of the story and demonstrating their understanding in a fun and creative way. 👑 They also brainstormed the themes and lessons they discovered throughout the story. We love seeing our students make connections, share their ideas, and bring their learning to life! ✨📖

Join PCE as we show our unity and kindness towards each other! Stay tuned for more updates about Character Counts! Week, too!

🥳Congratulations to our Teachers of the Month, Ms. Nissinoff and Mrs. Swindler! 🥳

🐾💙 Student leadership in action at PCE! Our School Advisory Council meeting gave our SAC members a chance to experience learning at PCE from a whole new perspective—with our students helping lead the way! 🌟 After learning about AVID and Building Thinking Classrooms, our SAC members stepped into the role of students and participated in a Building Thinking Classrooms activity. A few of our incredible AVID Ambassadors Grace, Hunter, and Xander helped facilitate the experience, guiding our members through the activity and giving them a firsthand look at the collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving our Wildcats experience in the classroom. Seeing our students confidently step up as leaders was such a proud PCE moment! 💙 A huge thank you to our SAC Co-Chairs, Mrs. Belowch and Mrs. Laramie, for their leadership and partnership, to Mrs. Miles for her School Counselor update, and to Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Hallee, and Mrs. Nissinoff for sharing the meaningful work happening through AVID and Building Thinking Classrooms. There is something special about seeing our Wildcats not only engaged in their own learning, but empowered to lead the learning of others! 🐾✨ That’s How We Wildcat! 💙
