It's not everyday that kindergartners get to interact with world-class musicians, but, in Transylvania County, it's probably more common than anywhere else. Today, Pisgah Forest Elementary School students listened, asked questions and learned from musicians in the Brevard Philharmonic. The Brevard Philharmonic's "Music in the Schools" program brought a whole quartet to PFE to teach students about different types of instruments and how they are played. One of these musicians is a former TCS student! Students asked great questions and danced to the rhythms. A glockenspiel solo in the tune of the "Paw Patrol" theme song was a favorite!

Pisgah Forest Elementary School students in all grades have been working with Mrs. Harris to create a stunning glow-in-the-dark display that will debut during PFE's Title I Literacy Night on Thursday! This hallway of student artwork will transform into a bioluminescent wonderland featuring critters from the mountains to the coast. While it may look like something from a fairytale when it's all done, it's actually the creative result of lessons from Mrs. Harris that incorporate STEAM and N.C. biology into the arts. Keep an eye out for the reveal!

This week, PFE proudly recognizes Mrs. Olivia Shuler during School Social Worker Week.

Her advocacy, compassion, and commitment to our students help create the caring environment that makes PFE so special. We are grateful for the impact she makes each day.

Thank you, Mrs. Shuler!

Last week in PE, students got to participate in their very own Winter Olympics! ❄️ They competed in air hockey, ice skating, snowball toss, curling, and ice hockey- bringing the winter spirit indoors and showing off their teamwork and skills! 🏅

As we wrap up Love the Bus Week, we want to give a big thank you to Ms. Lisa! We are so grateful for all you do for our students each day. 🚌👏

Congratulations to Mrs. Shober on being named PFE’s Teacher of the Quarter! 🎉 We even had a very special guest presenter who proudly shared that she is his “best friend” and insisted on helping with the big moment. 💛

Love the Bus Week - Day 4 🚌💛
