Congratulations to Zoey Nichols for being chosen as the PES Book Reviewer of the Week! The book that she reviewed is called Smile by Raina Telgemeier. She gave it 5 stars. Zoey said “she is my favorite author because her books are really good and every time I read her books, I feel like I’m in another world.” This is fantastic! Smile is from Raina’s childhood about injuring her teeth in an accident and having to go through a lot of dental procedures and navigate middle school all at the same time! Congratulations Zoey! Come check out Smile in the Graphic Novel section of the library!

Mrs. Butler is our staff member of the week! Mrs. Butler is our fantastic ELA teacher in 5th grade, and the way she enables her students to learn and engage with the content while growing over the course of the year is always amazing to see! Congratulations Mrs. Butler and thank you for being such a big part of what makes our 5th-grade team and PES so special!
Congratulations to Raiden Taylor for being chosen as the PES Book Reviewer of the Week! The book that he reviewed is called The Big Bad Fox by Benjamin Renner. He gave it 5 stars. Raiden said he liked the book because the fox was trying so hard to be bad but he wasn’t. Sounds like the animal version of The Bad Guys! This is the second time this same book was reviewed by one of our winners! It must be good, come check it out in the Graphic Novel section of the library! Congratulations Raiden! #PESreads
