The Mental Health Fair will be held this Thursday, October 8th. Students will visit various vendors throughout the school day. Parents and guardians are invited to PMS at 12:30pm for a presentation with Selena Vickers to learn about all of the tips and tricks to best support your student with all their needs from a parent perspective. We also invite you to explore the vendors beginning at 1:15pm. This is such a great opportunity for us to support our community! We hope to see you there! :)


8th grade families,
If your student brought back the field trip interest survey, they should be coming home with tickets to sell for our chili night fundraiser. If your child is interested in going on the field trip to Carowinds and does not have tickets, please send in a note with your child stating that you need tickets to sell. Thank you.

🎭📚 Learning ELA Through Charades!
This week in ELA homeroom, Mrs. Ray’s students put their acting skills to work while learning about nouns and verbs! Students drew cards from Mrs. Ray’s Mailbox of Fun and acted them out while their classmates guessed what they were portraying—and whether it was a noun or a verb.
Who knew grammar could be this much fun?! 🎬✨ We’re learning, laughing, and getting creative along the way! 💙📖
