Last week, our school showcased an amazing display of art and a Broadway worthy performance by our Sing-Ray chorus! The talent of both Laura Wiswell, Joanna Rubiera, and the students this evening was so heartwarming and inspirational! Thank you to the staff members who volunteered to help set up and work behind the stage. Our custodial crew also made things happen behind the scenes. Bravo!

Port Salerno Elementary School would like to send a huge congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Amy Jackson, for all her amazing work inside and outside the classroom! Another big shout out goes to all of the PSE staff that helped make the Teacher of the Year calibration a huge success!

Kudos to Music Director Joanna Rubiera for organizing and leading the fun! #ALLINMartin👊
