It may be January, but we're looking ahead to the warmer weather and our favorite ADULTS ONLY event of the year!
Read for the House is a service-learning project for children of any age that raises funds to support Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region. This is the 8th year that PE will participate in this project. In addition to helping families, the program promotes the value of community service and encourages reading! Sign-up and be part of our school's team and get ready to read all month long.
Sign up in advance to attend the parties.
