Our 4th grade Mustang Leaders in Mrs. Cartee's class got the opportunity to lead tours around Palmetto for senior education majors at Anderson University. They showcased our school by telling them what it is like to be a student at PES, showing them classrooms where students are learning from engaging teachers, having them meet some teachers around the school to ask about how AMAZING it is to get to work at PES, and lastly they got to show off their leadership portfolios! These leaders did an AMAZING job and they were so proud to show off their school!

The Anderson One Nutrition Service Department is excited to announce the launch of the new My School Menus app! The My School Menus app allows parents and students to access breakfast and lunch menus for all district kitchens. Just simply download the app from the app store, search for Anderson School District One, select your student’s school, and then select the menu you would like to view. You may also view My School Menus online.
By using the app you can view all nutritional information for each menu item or the entire menu for the day. You can also use the Build A Meal feature to select individual items from the menu and the nutritional information for your selection. By using the app you can filter allergens, carbs, protein, calories, and much more.
As a department, we feel that it is very important for parents to have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips when it comes to their child's nutrition. The app is convenient for all parents to track their child’s nutritional needs. With the ever-changing supply delays causing menu changes it is important to us to establish a direct line of communication with families to keep them informed of last-minute changes. On the administrative side of the app, the food service department is able to plan menus to ensure that all state and federal regulations are met.
Below are the QR codes to download the app:
