We are excited to announce that Palmetto Elementary will be serving FREE hot lunches again this summer to all children 18 and under. See the flyer for more information.

SC Ready testing begins next week for our 3rd-5th graders! Students are encouraged to get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast each morning before testing. We are excited to see the incredible successes of our students this year!

We held our school Battle of the Books competition last Friday. It was very close between our four teams, and they all did an amazing job! Congratulations to team "We Axolotl Book Questions" for winning! They will go on to represent our school at the district competition later this month.

Important update about our Palmetto Girls Run Club 5K - Saturday, April 12th We are SOOOO excited for our race tomorrow!! There is a slight change made to our route because Palmetto High School is hosting a plant sale at the same time! We will still start and end at the same points but our running route has shifted from the main PHS parking lot to going through the PHS Freshman Academy parking lot! This means we will run 4 laps instead of 3! Please spread out throughout this new route in order for our girls to be encouraged the whole race! You may still park at Palmetto Middle or the Anderson1 District Office if needed! I have attached a map of our race route below for your convenience! The pink highlighted area is where we will be running and the cones represent areas that will be blocked off!

We would like to extend a tremendous THANK YOU to Boutique at the Bridge for their generous donation to PES! We would also like to thank our families and community for supporting us in this way! Be sure to visit Boutique at the Bridge on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month as all proceeds go to local schools.

We are so grateful for Mrs. Stacey Shaw and all that she does for the students, faculty, and families of PES! Happy Assistant Principal Appreciation Week, Mrs. Shaw!

We can't wait for our Color Run on Friday, March 28th! Thank you for supporting Palmetto Elementary's PTO. Hope to see you there!

There was such a great response to the first sale, the Boutique at the Bridge is doing it again! Proceeds from the March 22nd sale will also benefit Palmetto Elementary! We hope you can make it to their new permanent location and support PES!

Just a reminder - No School for students tomorrow! Friday, March 14th is a Professional Development Day for teachers. Enjoy the long weekend! We can't wait to see students again on Monday.

New student registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open online!
