- - PES LEAPS Afterschool Program - -
PES LEAPS AS in continuing our Fall Fun Friday theme and to celebrate Walktober, went on a nature hike around the Parsons Elementary School campus. While on the hike, students collected leaves and small twigs. After a quick demonstration from LEAPS Program Coordinator Angie Mangrum, students covered a toilet paper roll with tissue paper and inserted the leaves and twig in the center for a stem (see attached picture). Each student proudly took their fall pumpkin home.

🚌 To our beloved bus drivers:
- You expertly navigate through chaotic traffic, dodge potholes, and somehow manage to keep the peace among 60+ students in the backseat—you’re basically ninjas on wheels! 🥋🛞
- Your ability to handle questions like "Are we there yet?" a million times without losing your cool is nothing short of legendary. 🏆
- Let’s not forget your mastery of the "perfect stop" because no one quite rolls to a smooth halt like you do—no more flying backpacks! 🎒✋
🛑 So, when you see our fantastic bus drivers, give them a big high-five wave! They deserve all the snacks, all the praise, and maybe a free cup of coffee (or ten)! ☕️💪
Here’s to our Road Warriors—we appreciate you more than you know!
