In Mrs. Swan's kindergarten class, students are excited about their personal stories! They are drawing pictures and writing some words, to express their ideas! In just a few short months, they have learned so much!
This year's annual Family Fall Festival Dance was a huge success. Hundreds of people attended including many middle school Penn alumni. It was great to see so many familiar faces and reacquaint with everyone. Many teachers attended and were able to catch up with former students. All of the kids looked great in their costumes and our DJ Carlos served up lots of great music. A great big THANKS goes out to all of our volunteer parents and teachers who donated their time to make this fun event happen. We look forward to seeing everyone at our Valentine's Day Dance.
