Providence News
Providence Community,
As we end our week of Staff Appreciation, we want to express our gratitude to our PTA for all they have done for our amazing staff this week. They have made us all feel much appreciated! We are so lucky to have such amazing staff in the many different roles across our building! Every one of them adds up together makes an incredible team here at PES. And, while I know many of you do this often, we encourage you to take a quick moment to write a note of appreciation you have for our staff.
All of their emails can be found on our staff directory linked here: https://providencees.fcps.edu/staff-directory Short notes of appreciation mean a great deal! We look forward to a great final month of the school year with all of the exciting events that come with this time of year!
Always grateful for our partnership!
Sincerely, Mr. Pratt, Ms. Suitte, Ms. Kelleher and Ms. Hickey
