This is the official book club for all middle school students here at PALCS. Throughout the year, we will read many exciting books suited for students grades 6-8. We will read anything from today's hottest teen fiction to time-tested classics of any genre. All books are voted on by group members and approved by the school's administration. Students involved with this club will be encouraged to engage in light-hearted discussion with their peers both via administered discussion boards and Zoom calls.


Student Newsletter

The Middle School Newsletter is a student run Newsletter that provides information about events and activities that are taking place in our School.
