Yesterday PMS students had the opportunity to participate in the “Get A Life” program. A huge thank you to Mrs. Tami Brown for organizing this each year and to the community members who help make this possible. Students got a real world simulation of what life can be like with an education verses without one.
Good evening, this is a reminder that students will be released at 1:30 on Friday, December 22 and will not return until January 2nd. Please have a safe and enjoyable break! See you next year!
Congratulations to Rowan Hickman at Peterstown Middle School for winning the overall kindest student award. Rowan is said to be a kind, caring, and dedicated student who is always trying her best. Jessie Thomas recognized her on December 20, with prizes from the American Heart Association. Being heart-healthy starts with being a good leader. Thank you Mr. Riffe for your time in nominating Rowan.
