Good afternoon PMS families! Students all have their report cards and need to return their envelope showing you have seen their grades. Tomorrow is wear red day - we are wearing red to remember everyone deployed. Thank you to all students who participated in our Spirit Week supporting our military kids. As always, if we can help you with anything, give us a call at 304-425-7517.
🏃♀️ We are so proud of our teachers at Princeton Middle School for participating in the Run in Remembrance 5K at Virginia Tech—an event that begins with a moment of silence to honor the 32 students and faculty whose lives were lost in 2007. Their commitment to staying active and involved sets a strong example for our students about the importance of physical fitness and healthy lifestyles.
👩🔧💡⚙️ Geared up and ready to compete, our all-girls engineering team—Jaylah Dodson, Paityn Hicks, and Ellie Smith—are heading to SkillsUSA Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia! Earning a spot at nationals takes dedication, technical skill, and top performance at the state level—congratulations and good luck on the big stage! 💡✨
🏊♂️ Join the Mercer Makos Swim Team—an encouraging, all-level team where all students, K-12th can grow their skills and confidence in the water! Many Makos swimmers have gone on to compete at the state level for local high schools—come be part of the tradition!
🎓 Princeton High School is hosting 8th Grade Night, giving 8th graders a chance to explore what student life is really like—from sports and clubs to daily experiences! Students will also learn about attendance expectations, school policies, and the wide range of academic classes and programs available to them.
Join Princeton Middle School for an exciting Career Fair on June 1st🎉 and connect with students through engaging, hands-on sessions that showcase your profession 💼👩🔬👨🔧. Local businesses are invited to lead 30-minute activities across six sessions ⏱️, with lunch provided by Azul Mexican Restaurant 🌮.
🚚✨ Big ideas rolling through Princeton Middle!
In Mrs. Twitty's Careers Exploration class, our 6th graders took on the challenge of designing their very own food trucks—from paper to reality! Starting with 2D sketches, students then brought their concepts to life by building 3D models.
This project pushed them to think critically and use precise measuring skills to make sure every piece fit just right. From creative menus to detailed designs, these students proved they’ve got what it takes to turn ideas into something real!
We love seeing hands-on learning in action! 👏
🎨✨ Student Creativity in Action at Princeton Middle! ✨🎨
Ms. Ray’s class has been diving into symbolism this week, and our students really brought their ideas to life! 🧠💡 From meaningful objects to creative designs, each student created a picture that represents what symbolizes them—showcasing their personalities, interests, and individuality.
📸 We love seeing our kiddos engaged, thinking deeply, and expressing themselves in such unique ways. Great job, everyone! 👏💙

🔧🌉 Real-World Learning in Action! 🌉🔧
Students in Mrs. Twitty's class had an exciting opportunity to work with representatives from Conn-Weld, .who visited to share career insights and lead hands-on STEM activities! Proudly headquartered right here in West Virginia, Conn-Weld is a global leader in separation and sizing equipment, known for driving innovation and creating solutions for unique problems. During their visit, students took on the challenge of designing and building bridges using only straws and tape—testing their creations to see how many pennies they could hold.
This experience gave students a firsthand look at how math, engineering, and problem-solving come together in real careers. Opportunities like this help our students connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world, while also exposing them to career paths they may not have considered before.
We are proud to connect our students with industry leaders who are not only shaping the world but are also invested in inspiring the next generation right here at home! 👏

🥚📊 Making Math Fun at Princeton Middle School! 📊🥚
At Princeton Middle, we believe learning should be engaging, interactive, and fun—and our math classes are a great example of that in action!
In 6th grade, Ms. Mitchem and Ms. Lucas turned review day into an exciting Egg Hunt Challenge! Students worked in teams of 2–3 to find hidden eggs, each containing a math problem. After solving, they submitted their answers through an IXL Quiz. The combination of movement, teamwork, and problem-solving kept students energized and focused while reinforcing key math skills. 🧠✨
Meanwhile, in 8th grade, Mrs. Mills’ math class took the egg hunt to the next level by connecting it to their study of bivariate data. Students searched for eggs containing coordinate points, which they later used to create scatterplots and analyze patterns, including identifying the line of best fit. 📈
To keep the momentum going, Mrs. Mills even took the lesson outside, bringing along a whiteboard to continue instruction in a fresh setting. Students were more engaged, eager to participate, and excited to answer questions while learning in a new environment! 🌿☀️
From collaboration to real-world application, these activities show how math at Princeton Middle is more than just numbers—it’s an experience!
👏 Great job to our students and teachers for making learning come alive!

Our Princeton Middle School students are hard at work showcasing their problem-solving, teamwork, and engineering skills. We are so proud of their dedication and can’t wait to see how they perform!
Keep cheering them on—they’re doing amazing things! 💪🎯🤖
🧩📐🧠 Mrs. Mills’ Math 8 students turned into a human puzzle as they worked together to build formulas for a cylinder, cone, and sphere! Using cards with different parts of each equation, groups collaborated to unscramble and correctly form all three formulas. 🤝✨ This engaging, hands-on activity strengthened teamwork, critical thinking, and understanding of volume concepts. Awesome work, mathematicians! 🎉
🚀🤖We are incredibly proud of our Princeton Middle School students who are representing us at the SkillsUSA competition in Robotics and Engineering!
Their hard work, creativity, and dedication have brought them to this exciting opportunity, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish as they compete in Fairmont.

We are so PROUD of all of our PMS Students of the Month!
🪁 Learning Takes Flight in 8th Grade Math! ☀️
Students in Mrs. Mills’ 8th grade math class recently applied the Pythagorean Theorem in a hands-on way by designing and building their own kites. After calculating side lengths and ensuring their designs were mathematically sound, they took their creations outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. It was a perfect day for learning and flying, as students saw math come to life in a fun and engaging way. Great work to our young mathematicians for combining creativity, problem-solving, and real-world application!
