Huge shoutout to some PGE students playing hard this summer: Shoutout to Reagan G.,Rohan W., Elle R.,and Issie V. These girls had an incredible All-Star weekend on the field! After finishing 1st in their pool on Saturday, they came back strong Sunday with a big win in their first game, before falling just short in a hard-fought, 11–16 battle in Game 2 against a tough opponent. They played with so much heart, hustle, and true sportsmanship; encouraging others, pushing themselves through the heat, and leaving it all out on the field. They showed grit, growth, and true sportsmanship! Way to go ladies!

Dolphin iReady Summer Challenge: Research shows that students can lose up to two months of academic progress over the summer—a phenomenon known as the summer slide. But just 40 minutes a week in reading and math can help prevent that loss and even boost student growth! That’s why we’re launching our Summer iReady Tracker Challenge! ✅ Complete 40 minutes in both Reading & Math each week ✅ Color in a box on your tracker (digitally or on paper) ✅ Bring it to Open House for a surprise prize! We’ll also have copies in the front office if you’d like a printed version. And don’t worry—we can check your child’s minutes on our end too! Let’s stay sharp this summer—because learning doesn’t stop when school’s out! 🌟

Pleasant Grove Elementary 5th Graders presented proposals they created during a government project based learning experience focusing on the question: How can we use the legislative process to improve our school/school district? Students worked together in committees where they created presentations based upon concerns and areas of improvement with our school community. They identified problems, benefits, and outcomes for their concerns and shared them with various leaders within our school community.
