Pontotoc Middle School Home

(11/20): Mr. Westbrook of Pontotoc High School and Pastor of Pontotoc 2nd Baptist spoke to our boys about accountability, self esteem, and initiative.

(11/19): Sixth grade science class turned into a mini biology lab and a mini gym as students began learning about how their body systems work together. They got their hearts racing—literally—by running in place and then checking their pulses. The challenge? To figure out which body systems were teaming up during the activity.
From their cardiovascular system pumping blood, to their respiratory system gulping air, to their muscular system powering every jump and step, students pieced together the amazing interconnectedness of their bodies.
Encourage your young scientist to explain what happens to their body when they exercise. Just be warned: you might be asked to check your own pulse!

(11/19): Our young sixth grade scientists embarked on a deliciously daring challenge: solving a Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans Dichotomous Key! (Yes, they ate a few along the way—bravery points to those who dared to taste "Earthworm.")
Using their keen observation skills and the trusty "yes-or-no" questions of the key, students identified flavors from classic to the downright bizarre (looking at you, "Sausage"). It was a lesson in critical thinking, teamwork, and the power of precise descriptions.
Highlights included debates over whether a bean was "lime green" or "neon green" (spoiler: it matters!) and the triumphant discovery that even the most mysterious beans—like "Grass"—could be unraveled with the right questions.

(11/19): PMS students competed in the 2024 Spelling Bee. All of the students did a great job spelling difficult words. Tana Snider was the winner spelling amnesia correctly. Congrats to all of the Warrior Spellers!
The county spelling bee will be announced at a later time. The top three winners will be represent PMS in the county spelling bee.

(11/18): Miss PMS Most Beautiful pageant was this past week. All of the contestants looked amazing. Congrats to these winners!
Winners were 1st Alternate: Connor Cranfield and Linley Vandiver; Most Beautiful Mary Collins Jefcoat and Carson Fuller; 2nd Alternate Kailee Armstrong; Most Photogenic Isabella Golden; and People's Choice Kendyl McKnight.
