STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. Students explored these concepts recently with Mrs. LaSage. They learned that STEM can be educational AND fun by experimenting with Apple Spheros and Botley coding robots.
Mrs. Doonan's Kindergarten class published a book called "Mrs. Doonan's Class Saves the Zoo." Each of the students wrote and illustrated their own page. Recently they walked the red carpet to their very own "author viewing!"
Mrs. Parrish's 2nd grade class is excited to release butterflies into the butterfly garden at PHE. The caterpillar to butterfly project is always a favorite after studying the life cycle of the butterfly.

Miners Read!
Did you know that PHE has a book vending machine? Every student receives a book for their birthday. Students with summer birthdays receive a book on their 1/2 birthday. Students can also earn books for completing literacy goals determined by their teacher. Wall of Fame members (positive behavior incentive) also get to choose a book. Thank you for supporting the library's book fairs, as this enables Mrs. LaSage to provide the books.
PHE Parents (5th - 1st),
Regarding afternoon car rider pick up, we want to make this as seamless as possible as we know everyone is ready to head home.
*Kindergarten- with no siblings -will line up in the inside lane (farthest from the building). So if you arrive before 2:45, line up in the outside lane (closest to the building).
*Keep your tag hanging until your child is loaded and then please put it safely away. This way we know your child is loaded and it is a safety precaution when you are driving around in public.
*A whistle will sound once it is safe for your child to load the vehicle.
*Please have your child load on the passenger side so that we can keep a view of all students. This is a safety precaution.
*If your child isn't loaded in a timely manner, we may move you to the gravel area. We will walk your child to you once he/she has made it outside. This keeps our line moving.
*Please do not go around other cars once your car is loaded. We will change the stop to GO when all children are safely loaded and it is safe to move the lines.
Thank you for putting our students' safety first.

PHE is incredibly proud of our very own Mrs. Houston! Earlier this week she was notified of being accepted as a member of the Arkansas Charlie May Simon Reading Committee. This Committee dedicates time to reading, and reading, and reading newly-published books to curate a list of best titles for Arkansas students in grades 4-8 every year. Once students have read three of the books from the list, they get to vote for their favorite. Thank you, Mrs. Houston, for representing Bauxite Schools and sharing your passion for literature with students and educators across the state. 📚💚
