The History and Humanities Fair - February 26
Deadline to register: EXTENDED to Jan 16
The History and Humanities Fair is happening on February 26, 2026 at the Stacy C. Sherwood Center. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of GMU, this year PES students in grades 3-6 will join students from Daniels Run and Katherine Johnson for an expanded event.
What is the History and Humanities Fair?: Students choose their own topic and do their own research, alone or in teams. They then present their subject at the fair through exhibits, performances, or documentaries. It's like a science fair, but for history and humanities!
Optional study sessions will be held on Thursdays at Katherine Johnson Middle School in January and February to help students prepare.
For more information and to sign-up, use this link. The deadline to register is Friday, January 16! If you have questions, contact: catherinepfoster@gmail.com

Lost and Found Items
Is Your Child Missing Something?
Our Lost and Found bin is currently overflowing with items waiting to be reunited with their owners! We have a large collection of:
-
Coats & Sweatshirts (perfect for this changing weather!)
-
Water Bottles of all shapes and sizes
-
Lunch Boxes and containers
Please Take a Look!
On your next visit to the school, we encourage you to stop by the Lost and Found area outside the Cafeteria to claim any items that belong to your family. It is helpful to check even if you aren’t sure something is missing—you might be surprised by what you find!
Thank you for helping us clear out our bin and get these belongings back home!
