Several sessions will also be available in Spanish (Algunas sesiones también estarán disponibles en español.) Childcare will be available for children from Pre-K to 5th grade, so the whole family can participate. The Family University is a great chance to get helpful information while connecting with other families and teachers. We hope to see you there - don't miss this valuable opportunity to support your student's growth and education!
PGE is very proud of 3 fifth grade boys. On their own, Levi, Massimo, and Alston sold handmade bracelets and drawings. They did so to raise money and buy canned food to donate to those in need. These exceptional young men demonstrate what it means to show kindness to others!
An application must be completed to receive free or reduced school meals for the new school year. 🥪 If your school is already eligible for free meals or you bring lunch from home, the application is still worthwhile as it provides waivers for testing and college applications! 🖥️ lunchapplication.com

Good Evening Parents! I am sure by now some kids have come home and told about my leaving today.
i will be having surgery on 4-19 and will be away for about 6 weeks. Each of your children and their classes made me the most precious get well cards and banners that sent me to tears! I felt the love from each and everyone of them and will miss them abundantly.
Please take the time to explain to your children that sometimes people need surgery to make things right and it makes people better. I have been very open with the students, when they ask, out of concern, why i was having surgery. I saw a few kids today and earlier that got visibly upset about my leaving and surgery. Please let them know that all will be well and I will be back to correct, laugh and love them even more!
To all the parents that have reached out, thanks for all your concern and Prayers! Very much appreciated!
Tell your kids i love them and will see them soon!
We are super excited to announce that Makayla Thompson will be our guest speaker for the 2022-23 5th Grade Moving Up ceremony at Pleasant Grove! Makayla is currently an honor student and athlete at Eastern Alamance High. She has excelled not only in the classroom but on the field and court; as a disc thrower and hybrid forward for the EAHS Lady Eagles Basketball team. Makayla also attended PGE as a child and we could not be more proud of the example she has set for our students.
Where can you learn from Misty Copeland, Orville Wright, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Blackwell, Kobe Bryant, and more... At the 3rd Grade Wax Museum. Students worked hard to research a famous person, wrote their own scripts, and presented them to the public. Proud @ABSSPublic
Thank you to the Alamance County Rotary club! Each student in our school got a FREE brand-new book, and had a terrific book read to them. Our community supports our schools! @ABSSPublic
It takes courage to be kind, a lesson these kids are taking to heart as part of the Kindness Club at @PGOwls! These acts of kindness can spread, lowering bullying rates and making a tremendous difference in the school climate. #ABSSDifferenceMakers https://youtu.be/giea-J70i8Q
We love our SRO’s and the relationships they build! We captured this moment at Pleasant Grove Elementary this morning. Thanks, Officer Wilkins, for all you do. #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
