(5/6): PMS has promoted Accelerated Reading all year, and this week students got to celebrate their reading. Depending on how many points students earned, they got extra break and popsicles, sno cones, playing at the park, and gift cards. One student's name was drawn to receive a $50 gift card for having one than 125 AR points. Congrats to all the Warrior Readers!

(5/6): PMS students who scored a 5 on last year's state tests were rewarded with ice cream this week. Students got to choose which ice cream bars they wanted at break. All of them enjoyed the reward! Thank you students for working hard.

(5/5): Our 6th Grade Agriculture students celebrated May Day in the sweetest way!
They gathered beautiful blooms from the Knock Out roses planted six years ago by former middle school ag students—making it a full-circle moment of growth and tradition. Students then crafted their own paper vases, creating cheerful bouquets to share with teachers and staff.
It was a simple, heartfelt way to spread kindness and remind everyone that a little care can blossom into something truly special!

(5/4): Our 6th grade Ag students are officially in the business of attracting VIP guests—Very Important Pollinators! They planted a raised bed full of flowers designed to roll out the red carpet for butterflies and hummingbirds. With bright blooms and sweet nectar on the menu, the only thing missing now is a tiny “Now Serving: Wings Only” sign. 🦋🌺

(4/27): Last week, fifth-grade students from Pontotoc Middle School took learning beyond the classroom with a field trip to Howard Stafford Park. The outdoor experience gave students a hands-on opportunity to connect with nature and deepen their understanding of the environment.
A special thanks goes to the Mississippi State University Extension Service and surrounding county extension offices, who played a key role in organizing and leading the day’s activities. Their efforts helped spark curiosity and inspire a love of learning among students.
While at the park, students explored 14 different environmental stations, each focused on topics such as conservation, natural resources, and sustainability. The interactive lessons gave students a better understanding of how to care for and protect the world around them.
The trip was both educational and memorable, leaving students with new knowledge and a greater appreciation for the environment.
