Congratulations to our Thunder Pride Award recipients for October! These students were recognized for being positive role models! We are so proud of our students at Pingree-Buchanan Elementary School. Next month we will recognize students who are excellent at managing their emotions.



⚖️🐒 Our 7th & 8th graders had a blast this week bringing literature to life with a mock trial of “The Monkey’s Paw.” Students stepped into the roles of lawyers, witnesses, and even the White family themselves to argue their cases in court.
Some really got into the spirit complete with costumes and character voices, which made the trial even more exciting to watch! 🎭📚
It was an awesome way to blend reading, critical thinking, and performance skills, and our students rose to the challenge. So proud of their creativity and energy!
