 PKE Team RoboTranspo In a recent robotics competition, PKE Team RoboTranspo tied for 8th place. Facing 33 teams, most of whom were experienced 6th-8th grade teams, PKE did very well. The team was asked to describe what "Gracious Professionalism" meant to them. The Judge said that the team gave the best description he had ever heard in all of his years of judging. Team RoboTranspo also won a trophy for "Best Quality Robot Design." Way to go!!!! |
 Congratulations to Anne-Marie for winning PKE's National Geographic Geography Bee! |
 Inspired by Maurice Sendak's book, "Where the Wild Things Are," PKE third graders in Mrs. Sebring's art class had a great time recreating the characters from clay. |
