LSHS students help Pleasant Lea Elementary staff celebrate High Five Friday
Pleasant Lea Elementary’s commitment to greeting and welcoming students at school each day isn’t new. But this year, Principal Aaron Barnett says, PLE decided to “take it up a notch.” With the help of LSHS Athletic Director Tracy Bertoncin, LSHS athletes visited PLE for drop-off Friday morning to help out with “High Five Friday.” This year, PLE staffers aim to greet students at least six times a day.
Thanks to our high school athletes for modeling what it means to be a leader to our elementary-aged students.

The Pleasant Lea Middle School volleyball and football teams joined for a day of service this morning. About 60 student-athletes, coaches and administrators spent time repainting the tiger paws between PLMS and PLE, picking up trash on both school campuses, and weeding the landscaping around PLMS. “It was a beautiful morning for this kind of work and was fun to watch this group of people come together and serve their school. It was a fantastic way to build community within and between the two teams and made for a fun, laid back environment to engage and enjoy each other,” said Coach Sisk.
