Good evening Penderlea Families,
Here are important information and updates for the week of August 23rd through August 28th and beyond. Thank you for staying connected and involved.
Updated Penderlea School Menu- August & September
Attached are the upcoming cafeteria menus for the remainder of August and the month of September. Please review them with your child to help plan for meals ahead of time.
Leader in Me Family Night
We are excited to invite you to our Leader in Me Family Night on September 15th from 4:30pm - 6:00pm in the Gym.
This will be a fun evening for the whole family. As you make your way through the gym, you'll have the chance to visit different stations that focus on each of the 8 Habits. Every station will include a simple activity that families can complete together while learning more about the habits your child is practicing at school.
We'll also have snacks available and each family will leave with a craft that you can complete together and take home.
Because this is a floating event, you are welcome to arrive at any time during the evening and participate at your own pace.
We hope you'll make plans to join us. It will be a great opportunity to spend time together while learning more about the Leader in Me program and how these habits can be used at home as well as at school.
We look forward to seeing you there!
School Nurse Coverage – August 24–26
Please be aware that Nurse Brown will be off campus Monday, August 24 through Wednesday, August 26 as she supports another school during the beginning of their school year. Penderlea staff will continue to support student health needs while she is away. If your child has a specific medical need or concern during these days, please contact the front office so we can assist.
Beta Club – Save the Dates!
We have two upcoming Beta Club events for our families to add to their calendars!
Beta Bingo Night Fundraiser – Tuesday, August 25 from 5:30–7:30 PM
Join us for a fun evening of Bingo while supporting our Penderlea Beta Club! This event will serve as a Beta Club fundraiser, and we hope to see our Penderlea families come out and participate.
We are also looking for donations for Bingo Night prizes. If you have connections with a local business or have items you would be willing to donate, please contact Ms. Anderson.
Fall Picture Day – August 26
Mark your calendars! Fall Picture Day is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2026.
Strawbridge Studios will be on campus to photograph all students. Be on the lookout for ordering information and reminders from the school. We encourage families to review the picture day flyer for ordering details, and information about when to expect your child's picture package.
