Peterstown PK8 hosted another successful Pirates Code Open House. Many students and their families attend and enjoyed using coding robots. This event celebrates Computer Science Education Week and Hour of Code/AI. Coding and robotics helps students learn computational thinking and problem solving skills. #CS4WW

Today Peterstown Middle participated in a “Because You Are Here” day!   The challenge:  decorate a tree using nothing but a mystery box of completely random supplies.  🎄 🎨 When presenting the grade level trees to the judges, students performed a festive holiday song.  We even had some instruments and characters.   In the end, every tree told a different story and every team walked away proud of what they built. A mess?  Yes. Loud?  You have no idea. Worth it? Absolutely! #attendancematters #pledgetobepresent

Biomedical Science Students had the opportunity to shadow different departments at Princeton Community Hospital. Students were allowed to pick a specific area of interest to get a better understanding of what a typical day is like. Areas of focus were Physical Therapy, Pathology, Radiology, Nursing, Oncology, Labor and Delivery, and Surgery.

Today was Turkey Trot Relay Day at PMS, a “Because You Are Here” attendance incentive. We had the following: 
🦃 Turkey Waddle – where students discovered that walking like a confused penguin is a competitive sport.
🌽 Pass the Corn – nothing bonds a team like frantically handing off candy corn. 
🥧 Thanksgiving Feast Relay – where kids ran in an effort to fill their tray with laminated food. 
🪶 Pass the Turkey Feather – shockingly intense for something that weighs less than air.
🎃 Pumpkin Roll – otherwise known as “controlled chaos featuring round objects being flung down an incline”. By the end, the turkeys were wobbling, the pumpkins were rolling, the corn was flying, and the teachers were rethinking all their life choices. Just kidding! It was a fabulous day to be a Pirate!!! 🏴‍☠️❤️🖤🤍 #pledgetobepresent #attendancematters
