Puyallup Elementary Blog

We are so excited to welcome you to a brand-new school year—and into our new spaces! After months of hard work, our teachers, staff, and incredible construction crews have truly poured their energy into preparing classrooms where your children will learn, grow, and thrive. We can’t wait for you to see them!

Thank you for your grace and patience during our delayed start. The extra time has allowed us to ensure everything is ready for a safe and joy-filled beginning.

This year, we’re especially looking forward to diving into the book of Ephesians together. Our spiritual theme, “Called for a Purpose,” will guide us as we explore what it means to live a life worthy of the calling God has placed on each of us.

Our theme verse, Ephesians 4:1 (NIV), says, “I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” Throughout the year, we’ll break down this powerful verse and discover how God’s truth applies to our students, our families, and our school community. We believe He has great things in store.

Please know that our team is already praying for each of you—for every student and every family. It is truly an honor and a privilege to partner with you in raising the next generation for God’s glory.
