Aloha Bobcat Ohana!

As we head into the holiday break, I am overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of our Palm Lake families as we come together to assemble Thanksgiving baskets for those in our community who could use a little extra support.

It has been a joy-filled few weeks on and off campus—our students looked wonderful and represented our school with exemplary behavior during our recent Symphony field trip, and seeing so many of you at the Book Fair and Movie Night reminded me that bringing families together is truly what makes Palm Lake so special.  Thank you to Mrs. Mann, our PTA, and all of our amazing volunteers for putting this event together.

Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome guests to campus Tuesday to hear our Orchestra and Treble-makers present an evening of music to our families.  They look great and sound better, so we hope to see you there. 

A big Welcome and Thank You to our Guest Teachers for Teach-In this Wednesday!  We are looking forward to hearing about all of the exciting opportunities and possibilities that await our Bobcats after they leave the hallowed halls of academia. 

Every single day, I feel deeply blessed by our dedicated staff, our amazing students, and the parents who trust us with their children’s education.

Please note that there will be no Blast! next week, and from all of us at Palm Lake Elementary, we wish you and your loved ones a safe, restful, and joyous Thanksgiving.

I wish you well,

Jim

What a fantastic Movie Night! A huge thank-you to our incredible volunteers and families for making this another unforgettable PLE event. We loved seeing all the smiles and joy throughout the evening!

Thank you so much to our incredible Bobcat families for your generosity and support of our Thanksgiving basket drive! 

Your donations are so deeply appreciated and will bring warmth, comfort, and a wonderful holiday meal to members of our own school community and also to the families at Catalina Elementary.

It is truly heartwarming to see how our Bobcat family always comes together to lift one another up and care for our neighbors during this season of gratitude. 

Thank you for making such a meaningful difference and showing what makes our school community so special!
