The Kindergarteners at PLE had fun in Mrs. McG's music class this week- writing their own songs, using buttons for short sounds, and straws for long sounds. Then they got to play their classmates songs using triangles for the long sounds, and wood blocks for the short sounds!
Friendly Reminder! NO School for students November 24th-26th.

We are so encouraged to see the amount of items already donated at each school to benefit the Garrard Food Pantry! If you have not yet donated and would like to, there is still time! Each school has a designated employee and room number where items can be collected. We will be collecting items until this Friday, November 19th.
Thank you for supporting our community!
The staff members of GCS are thankful and grateful for all of our students and families that make our school district great!

Paint Lick Elementary is an extraordinary place. Our school enjoys a rich tradition of excellence that our students, staff, parents, and community members are proud of. Our success is evident in our recognitions as a Distinguished school and a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, but also clear the minute one enters the building. The warm and nurturing environment we cultivate brings to mind words like “family” and “home.” I am honored to join the Paint Lick family as principal and am so happy to be home.
