Happy Assistant Principal Appreciation Week to Dr. Goodlett! 💛
We are so thankful for the bright, charismatic, and positive energy she brings to Penderlea School each and every day. Dr. Goodlett has been such a wonderful addition to our school family, always leading with kindness, encouragement, and dedication.
Her passion for students, support for staff, and commitment to making Penderlea the best it can be does not go unnoticed. She goes above and beyond to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
Shout out to Dr. Goodlett for all that she does for our school, students, and community. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💛🐝🍎

Our two sessions will be:
Session A - 4:00pm - 4:45pm
Session B - 4:45pm - 5:30pm
This special evening will begin with an introduction to an exciting change for our school as we become a Leader in Me School next year. Families will learn how this approach will help develop leadership, responsibility, and strong character in our students.
After the presentation, families will have the opportunity to:
• Visit the next grade level your child will be entering
• Meet teachers
• Learn about expectations for the upcoming school year
• Enjoy light snacks together
We hope you will join us for this important and engaging evening as we prepare for a successful year ahead!
Our school is kicking off an exciting Battle of the Grades attendance competition, starting next week! Each grade group—K–2, 3–5, and 6–8—will go head-to-head each week to see who can achieve the best attendance. The winning grade earns a Sir Stings-A-Lot star, and at the end of the month, the top grade in each bracket will celebrate with a fun ice cream party!
This competition is all about showing up and giving your best every day. Good attendance helps students stay on track with learning, build strong habits, and stay connected with friends and teachers. Every day counts—when you’re here, you’re learning, growing, and contributing to your grade’s success.
Let’s show our school spirit, be present, and make every day count! 🍦⭐
