Did you know the PWES has its own crossing guard? We are lucky to have Mr. McKinnon act as our crossing guard at the Belcher Street crosswalk each day before and after school. PWES Home and School pays for his service each year, and we appreciate his dedication to our students. Make sure you say "hi!" next time you see him on your walk/bike ride to school.
