• PBE is Looking for PALS

  PBE is looking for PALS! Pals are Parents at Lunch Support. Are you available to volunteer Mondays, Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Fridays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.?

  Being a PBE PAL is a great way to support our school and also see your child during the school day. If you are available and willing, even if it is just one or two days a week, please email Dr. Schnitzer at kschnitzer@sandi.net.

  Being a PBE volunteer is easy, you just need to complete a volunteer application, provide a copy of TB (tuberculosis) clearance - these are good for 4 years, and provide a copy of your driver's license.

• Missoula Children’s Theatre is coming to PBE
  

  This week you will see permission slips come home for your child to participate in the production of “The Jungle Book”. If your child in grades 1-5 would like to participate, please read and sign the permission slip and send it back to your teacher.
  Auditions, rehearsal and 2 performances will all happen November 17-22nd at PBE. 

  The Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for more than 50 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,000 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. A tour team arrives in a given town with a set, lights, costumes, and props, everything it takes to put on a play...except the cast. The team holds an open audition and casts 50-60 local students to perform in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and two public performances are presented on Saturday. All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales . . . a twist on the classic stories that you know and love.
  
  IMPORTANT: 
  We are currently looking for a volunteer to serve as an accompanist (piano player) to support our rehearsals and performances from Tuesday, 11/19 to Thursday, 11/21, from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM and Friday, 11/22, for two performances at 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM
