Bright Idea!


Just a thought...this week is the buy one-get one free book fair at PES, 
which would be a great way to also donate a book to your child's classroom library next week.  
Next Thursday the Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week has a special day to donate a book to your child's classroom library.  To see the fun things planned for each day, go to the PES Teacher Appreciation Week tab on the blog or under notes on Facebook. 



Take 5...With Adam Rusek


Take 5...With Adam Rusek - PIC - Band Director

1) What is your favorite Color?  Blue, unless it's college football season, then it's Orange.

2) What is the funniest or most creative excuse a student has given for not doing their work?  Practicing their instruments was making their dogs bark and run away so they had to stop.

3) What is your favorite TV show and/or book? I really like Hawaii Five-O and Holmes on Homes. One of my favorite books is DaVinci Code, though I just finished re-reading Great Gatsby and Slaughterhouse Five.  

4) Do you like something sweet or salty?  Sweet

5) If you could take a trip anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?  I would love to go back to Hawaii, go to Scotland, Ireland, and England in a trip, or maybe go over to Russia to see Moscow and St. Petersburg.
