(10/20): Our 5th and 6th grade gifted students took hands-on learning to new heights this week—literally! Students designed, built, and tested their very own catapults as part of an exciting STEM challenge. They worked to adjust angles, test force, and perfect their launches before presenting their final creations to the class. The air was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and flying objects as they learned about motion, energy, and teamwork in action. These young engineers proved that when creativity and curiosity collide—learning really takes off!

(10/17): Sixth-grade science students at Pontotoc Middle School are loving the cooler fall weather! Classes recently took their learning outside for a fun “gallery walk” activity focused on the characteristics that determine if something is a living organism. Students walked from station to station, reading and discussing questions about what makes living things unique—like using energy, growing and developing, and responding to their environment. The fresh air and hands-on learning made science come to life.

(10/8): Our 6th grade science students put Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion to the test with the film canister rocket lab! For every action (a little fizz and pop), there was an equal and opposite reaction (rockets shooting to the sky!). Let’s just say the lab experiment was full of laughter, flying canisters, and a whole lot of budding rocket scientists.

(10/8): PMS students and staff participated in the statewide tornado drill this week.
