Big shout out to all of our participants of our school literature fair! We had 66 projects at the school level and projects with a 94 or higher move to the county literature fair. Big shout out to our staff for helping make this possible, Stephanie Burns for helping with all the logistics and making our school fair a success and our parents.
Special shout out to Kim Murphy, Sue Hollandsworth, Brooke Burns, Tiffany McClure, Samantha Mitchell, Susan Wilkins, Michelle Deeds, Val Monico, Chelsea Hooper, Monica Bing, and Jennifer Barlow for spending the morning with middle school children and judging our projects! We appreciate you all!
Please remember the permission forms for county fair are required to be turned in by tomorrow at 3:30 to be eligible to attend.
Hello Copperheads! If you were chosen for the county literature fair, your permission form is due tomorrow to your ELA teacher. If it isn't turned in by tomorrow at 3:30, unfortunately your child will not be able to attend. We have to get final numbers for buses, lunch, and organization at PCHS. Thank you and congratulations!

Reminder to MMS students and families, no students will report to school on Friday, September 20 due to Professional Learning for all staff.
All students went home today with many important documents. They received a letter about summative assessment testing scores, October calendar and lunch menu, directions for logging in to check your students grades and progress reports for first nine weeks.
Also just a reminder that all student pick ups must happen in the bottom lot at 3:25. Please do not park in the top lot as this is reserved for bus exchange and no cars should be moving through the lot at that time.
Thank you!
