Speak Out! PEGS students are Using Their Voices to share about ways that they have come together, and Synergized to make a difference in their community!
From gathering support for their toy drive, lobbying Missouri Congress to pass legislation, starting a club to save the trees, participating in service projects with K-Kids, and helping package food for the hungry, PEGS students have learned that it takes everyone's help, skills, and teamwork to make a difference.

Videos can NOW be viewed on the Leader in Me International Speech Contest website, where students share their voices on an International stage!
Once in the Gallery, type a student's name or a team name: Toy Drive, Lobbyists, Seeds of Hope, to view their presentation. There are 4 1/2 DAYS to vote for speeches that inspire you! Please share the link and VOTE! 😊

Students in the PEGS program at Rose Acres Elementary School competed in the Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest and three were selected as state grade-level winners. Samuel Guthrie, William Purnell and Evie Yakel each advanced to the national championships in the cursive category for students in grades 3 through 8. All students wrote the sentence, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” because it contains every letter of the alphabet. Students were judged according to the Zaner-Bloser’s four keys to legibility: the shape, size, spacing and slant of the letters. They are taught by PEGS teachers Robin Chang and Tracey Robinson.

“Please Don’t Leave Us Mrs. Robinson” to the tune of Encanto’s Bruno. Fourth and fifth grade PEGS students had a great time composing this retirement parody to surprise our beloved out-going Mrs. Robinson! They have been preparing for the last month, from what started as a creative whim during our Poetry Unit, and expanded to include third grade PEGS as ensemble. Enjoy watching this special moment as third through fifth performs and first grade PEGS students present a class gift. 💝
Mrs. Robinson, you will be missed.
