Good afternoon PMS family! We are sending this message with a few very important updates for next week.
Any student wishing to sign up for the kickball tournament must sign up by Monday during lunch. We are also excited to announce that testing at Princeton Middle School will begin next Wednesday, May 13th. It is very important that students are well-rested and arrive on time each day so they can do their very best. Each student has participated in data talks with their Math and Reading teachers this week. We truly believe that if every student gives their individual best effort and shows even a little growth, our scores will reflect the amazing things our students are capable of accomplishing. We are ready! Thank you for your continued support and help at home. Have a great weekend!

Mr. O'Dell's students used block coding to create programs for their microbits. Today, they shared with their classmates why they designed that particular code, what it made the microbit do, and then showed the microbit performing the function, along with the code on their computer!

Mr. O'Dell's classes have been using Micro:Bits to learn block coding. Micro:Bits are like miniature computer chips that have LED lights on them, effectively making them like a miniature, handheld LED sign. The goal is to code the Micro:Bit to perform a function.
For our first Micro:Bit lesson, students coded the Micro:Bits to display their names. They then got into groups and used the Microsoft Makecode site to code and play a game!

Hair-raising experience in Mrs. Taylor’s 7th grade science classes! ⚡😄 Students explored the properties of electricity using a Van de Graaff generator, seeing firsthand how static electricity works. From charged reactions to standing hair, this hands-on lesson sparked curiosity and excitement while bringing science concepts to life. Learning has never looked so electrifying!

Mrs. Taylor’s 7th grade science classes have been hard at work on their Energy Collage projects! 🔬⚡ Students are exploring and incorporating various types of energy, using creativity and critical thinking to showcase what they’ve learned. From kinetic to potential energy and everything in between, their projects are coming together in exciting ways. Great job to these young scientists for bringing energy concepts to life!

🏃‍♀️ 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! 💡✨
