Pontotoc Middle School Home

(10/21): Pontotoc Middle School will celebrate Red Ribbon Week during the month of October. This year's theme is “Make a difference. Be a hero. Stay Drug Free.” We will celebrate during the week of October 26-30.
Fifth and sixth grade classrooms will compete in a door competition. Peer helpers will make signs for our hallways and will speak on the intercom each morning about the importance of RRW. Ag classes will plant 100 yellow daffodils in the front lawn and flower beds. There are several short videos online about the history of RED RIBBON WEEK for you to show during your homeroom class.
Always remember to say NO to Drugs!

(10/9): The PMS PTO fundraiser was successful! The two Hulken bags were full of great gifts and the winners were... Joanne Bradley and Nancy Peren. Congrats to these ladies and thanks to all who supported our Warriors!

(10/9): Our Peer Helpers participated in training by Mrs. Ritchie and Mrs. Mathews designed to build teamwork and develop essential skills for supporting others. Students were introduced to the Peer Helpers mission, motto, and code of ethics before participating in the “Roll With It” team-building activity. During the core skills training, they learned about connecting with others, active listening, understanding emotions and practicing empathy, healthy coping strategies, and self-care. Students also practiced recognizing when someone needs additional support and how to make appropriate referrals. These activities equipped our Peer Helpers with valuable tools to communicate effectively, show compassion, and make a positive difference in our school community!

(10/9): We’re excited to invite you to our Annual Campfire Evening! Join us for a cozy evening of s’mores, roasted marshmallows, hot chocolate, music, relay games, and spooky stories. It’s a wonderful opportunity for teachers and parents to connect and enjoy time together.
This event is for 5th and 6th grade students and their families. Please remember
that students will not stay after school for this event. They should go home as usual and return with their families. We encourage you to bring a chair and enjoy the evening with us!
To make the evening extra sweet, we need donations of a few items.
More details are being sent home with students.

(10/9): Ms. Swain’s Computer Science students and Mrs. Sloan’s students came together for a special inclusive learning experience using Makey Makey! Students partnered up to explore circuits, technology, and creativity while turning everyday objects into interactive controls. The activity provided opportunities for students of all abilities to learn alongside one another, work together, and build meaningful connections. Beyond learning computer science skills, students practiced patience, kindness, teamwork, and encouragement. It was a wonderful reminder that some of the most meaningful learning happens when everyone is included, valued, and given the opportunity to shine!
