At PGE, we are proud to celebrate the beautiful cultures, traditions, and stories that make our school community so special. Our Día de los Muertos altar is a heartfelt way to honor and remember loved ones who are no longer with us. Adorned with colorful flowers, candles, photographs, and meaningful offerings, it reminds us that love and memories live on. We are grateful for the opportunity to share, learn from, and embrace the traditions that bring our families and school community closer together. ❤️

PGE is proud to celebrate spirit week!
Follow your dreams, dress for your future, don't get mixed up in drugs, say boo!

A special thank you to Mr. Shannon Long for joining us at Pleasant Grove Elementary for our Principal for a Day visit! Mr. Long had the opportunity to experience firsthand what a typical morning looks like in the life of a principal. From morning meetings and an unexpected fire alarm to PLCs and classroom visits, he kept right up with Ms. Allen as she navigated the many responsibilities and surprises that come with school leadership! We truly appreciate Mr. Long taking time out of his schedule to spend the morning with us and gain a glimpse into the exciting, busy, and rewarding work that happens each day at Pleasant Grove! 💚🦉
