❤️Grandparents Day at PLES was such a special celebration! ❤️
Our wonderful grandparents showed up and showed out—posing at the photo booth 📸, enjoying their Goodies for Grands cookies 🍪, sharing lunch 🥪, and even heading to the Book Fair 📚.
We had our biggest turnout ever with over 400 visitors—a record-setting day that included our largest Book Fair opening yet and tons of sweet memories made together.
Thank you for being such an important part of our PLES family! 💕

Dr. Tracy Pulliam, Principal of Pine Log Elementary School, welcomed Ms. Dot Frasier—beloved former PLES principal and Bartow County legend—for a special visit. Ms. Dot inspired the staff with stories of generosity and encouraged everyone to support the Bartow Education Foundation through payroll deductions. She also reminded us that every educator and staff member can apply for up to $500 in grant funding to enhance student learning. Learn more: https://www.bartow.k12.ga.us/page/grant
