Springfest will occur on Saturday, May 31st, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Preston Volunteer Fire Department. Bring the whole family for an afternoon of fun, food, and fundraising! There will be a Silent Auction, Tricky Tray Prizes, a Cake Wheel (just 25¢ a spin!), tons of games, themed gift baskets, raffles, and more! All proceeds support the students of Preston Elementary School for the 2025–26 school year. Springfest is open to the entire community — you don’t need to have a student at PES to join the fun!

🌟 PES Educator of the Week: Mrs. Ward! 🌟 With an incredible 30 years of educational experience, Mrs. Ward has dedicated her career to nurturing young minds across all five elementary schools in Caroline County. From teaching every grade (K–5) in the classroom to now serving as a Reading Specialist, her passion for student success shines in everything she does! 📚❤️Mrs. Ward holds multiple degrees, including an AA in Business, a Bachelor’s of Science, a Bachelor’s of Art, and a Master’s Degree. She is a certified Reading Specialist and an integral part of the SIT ITSS Team. Though she plans to retire after this school year, we’re thrilled she hopes to return in some teaching capacity next year. Her legacy is a testament to the quote she lives by: "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Thank you, Mrs. Ward, for your tireless dedication, kindness, and heart. PES is better because of you! 💜🌈 #PESEducatorOfTheWeek #ThankYouMrsWard #ReadingMatters #PESPride
