On Thursday, PLES proudly celebrated our State STEM Certification Banner Presentation! Our staff and students have worked incredibly hard to earn this recognition, and we couldn’t be prouder of the teamwork, innovation, and dedication it represents. 🏅 A huge thank you to Nothing Bundt Cakes for providing the sweetest touch to our special day ❤️. We appreciate your generosity and support in helping us celebrate this milestone!
