Attention!!! Our 2nd grade Day into Night Field Trip is cancelled for tomorrow, Nov. 11th, due to the cold/wet/windy weather. Teachers will have some fun activities for students to do after lunch at Pence during school hours. All 2nd graders will be dismissed at normal dismissal time to go home. We look forward to the spring when we can do the big Day into Night Field Trip!
Staff Shout-out for Meghan Fitzsimmons!
Meghan is new to our Pence Family & we are so glad that she has chosen to come work at Pence. She had begun nursing school after high school, but soon felt that she was meant to work in education. This year she is working in our behavioral program and she is where she needs to be! She loves each of the students she works with, but also holds them accountable for their actions. It is also not uncommon for her to step in and help her cooperating teachers, as she is not one to sit back and not help. Her future in education looks BRIGHT! Keep up the good work!
Pence Picture Retakes are TOMORROW (Friday)!
Pence Family Game Night is going on NOW until 6:30pm! Also, the BOOK FAIR is OPEN tonight! Enjoy!

Pence Staff Shout-out for Kim Winslow!
Kim is the rock that holds us together. She is always calm and patient with the most difficult individuals. Kim is constantly interrupted in her job, but she stays steady in completing the tasks at hand. Her sense of humor is a delight as she is easy to relate to as she can add humor to almost any situation. Kim makes her job look so easy, however that is the trademark of someone who is seriously skilled in their area. We are so lucky to have her.
