Last week, our elementary school was awarded the Challenge Recognition Award by KSDE. This award is a magnificent achievement and is reserved for only the best performing schools in the state. Last year, only 7% of the 1305 schools in Kansas received this award and only 16 schools in region 9 received this award this year. This is tremendous!!! Congratulations Pleasanton Elementary on this remarkable accomplishment.
