We are proud of our students and their hard work!

(4/3): Our 6th-grade Agriculture students took on the prickly task of pruning the roses in front of the 5th and 6th-grade building. Armed with shears and determination, they trimmed the bushes—while the bushes fought back with their thorns!
A few students earned tiny battle scars, sending them to Nurse Ashley for Band-Aids and a "You’ll survive" pep talk. But victory was ours! The trimmed bushes look great, and the students are using cuttings to grow even more roses. 🌹✂️

(4/2): Sixth grade students Shalaya Smith and Rylan Webber wrote poems of their wishes and dreams for the Mississippi Poetry Project. Their poems were selected as school wide winners. They traveled to Delta State this week with other PCSD students and librarians to attend the MS Young Writers' Poetry Festival. Their poems were printed in the MS Poetry Project: Dreams and Wishes anthology. Each student received one to keep.
The keynote speaker was Stephanie Pacheco, National Youth Poet Laureate from New York. She spoke to the young poets about her life and shared her poems with them.
