(9/11): The peppers are paying off! After adding ground peppers from out garden to our chickens’ feed, our feathered friends have really stepped up their egg-laying game. This week, we collected 33 eggs—quite an improvement from the big “zero” we gathered in July and August! Apparently, our hens just needed a little spice in their lives!

(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. Students can PREORDER the NEW DogMan and Diary of Wimpy Kid books!!

(9/11): Congrats to these students for being recognized as Positive Praise Warriors!

(9/10): Ms. Swain’s sixth-grade STEM students used JoySchooler to explore the Feynman Technique, learning that explaining an idea in simple words can reveal what they truly understand, where they’re stuck, and how to think more deeply.

(9/10): Our school is launching a student-led prevention designed to strengthen the school climate, enhance student well-being, and foster a culture of care. The school-wide program component is titled P.A.T.H, which Mrs. Ritchie will discuss in lessons within classrooms.
