(9/1): Ms. Swain’s 6th Grade STEM kicked off problem solving with a simple challenge: build a tower using paper! Sounds easy, right? Some towers stood tall and proud, while others made a very dramatic trip to the floor. Either way, students learned that STEM is all about trying, testing, adjusting, and trying again! Sometimes the best ideas come from the towers that don’t stand up!

(8/31): The Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon to PMS Library - September 21-25. Family Night will be Tuesday, Sept 22 from 4-6 pm. Students, snow cones, and ELA games will be in the garden!
Use the QR Code to set up eWallet for your child, so he or she will not have to bring money to school.

(8/31): Mrs. Whitworth's 6th grade Ag students planted eight tomato plants and are hoping for a “tomato-ly” terrific fall crop! A big thank-you to our librarian, Mrs. Mathews, and her husband for donating the plants. Until the next episode!

(8/28): Congrats to these PMS students for receiving positive office referrals this week. We are proud of you!

(8/28): Our  sixth-grade science classes had a towering good time exploring inertia and Newton’s First Law of Motion! Students put their science skills to the test by building inertia towers and experimenting with what happens when objects at rest are suddenly disturbed.
This hands-on activity gave students the chance to see inertia in action instead of just reading about it. There were plenty of laughs, a few spectacular tower tumbles, and lots of excited reactions when the experiment worked just right! 
Activities like this help turn big science concepts into experiences students can actually see, test, and remember. We’re learning that science is a lot more fun when we get to put it into motion!
