A big thank-you to Pumped for Pumpkins for donating the pumpkins for our Lights On project!
Our students had a great time making predictions about whether their pumpkin would sink or float and guessing how many seeds were inside. Then came the fun part—we busted open the pumpkins and got hands-on with our investigation!
Pictured are Petunia from last year's pumpkin investigation and our newest pumpkin experiment, Mr. Pumpkin!
Hands-on learning is always a little more fun when pumpkins are involved!
As part of our preschool Community Workers unit, we welcomed a very special guest!
Our preschoolers had the opportunity to learn all about firefighting, explore the equipment firefighters use, and get an up-close look at a real fire truck! Our guest also shared some important fire safety tips and reminded the children that the special masks firefighters wear and the loud sounds their equipment makes are nothing to be afraid of. These things help firefighters do their jobs and keep everyone safe.
We are so thankful for this special visit and the opportunity to learn from one of our community heroes! What a wonderful hands-on learning experience! Thank you for all you do to keep our community safe!

NFeLementary is bringing learning to life through the NFL! Students use football to explore SEL, math, geography, research, reading, and writing. After drafting their own NFL teams to follow throughout the 2026-2027 season, students track stats, celebrate wins, discuss losses, and make connections between football and everyday life.
As part of the project, students wrote letters to all 32 NFL teams to share their excitement about following them throughout the season. How exciting that the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans both sent letters back thanking the students for reaching out!
Through this project, students are learning that sportsmanship and support go beyond team rivalries. It's about encouraging others and celebrating the game together!
A huge thank-you to the Colts and Titans for taking the time to make this experience even more special for our students!

Perry Central CTE students enjoyed their visit to the Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters Union this week!
Students in the Construction Pathway will earn a Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate, which can help them gain direct entry into the apprenticeship program if they choose to pursue that opportunity.
So many great career opportunities! We love seeing our students explore their options for the future!

This week, our 5th graders took a bite out of The Phantom Tollbooth with a fun, themed Book Tasting! Students stepped into the world of wordplay by sampling delicious treats inspired by puns and figurative language. After tasting each treat, they used our 5-star rating system to vote for their favorites. It was a fun way to bring the book’s playful language to life, and they can’t wait to begin reading it! #PCCommodores

What a fun night at our annual Fall Fest last night! Our students and parents enjoyed hands-on STEM activities featuring our Bee-Bots and Sphero Bolts, bringing classroom learning to life through creativity and exploration. Families also put their knowledge to the test during our 4th grade Students vs. Parents Trivia Battle, inspired by their Wit & Wisdom learning about the literal and figurative heart. And the winner? Our students!
We loved seeing our families learning, laughing, and making memories together. Thank you to PC Family Outreach and everyone who made this night so much fun! #PCCommodores
