The RAMbler

As I shared at last week's PTSA meeting, this has been a wonderful opening thanks to all of our amazing students. The energy is positive and fun, with students smiling and laughing in the halls.

Last Friday we had our annual Clubbin' in the Quad where students could choose to join a wide range of clubs generated by their fellow students. Options included Anime, Drama, Art, Chess, Cheer, Soccer, Faith, Pickle Ball, D & D, Robotics, TUPE, and GSA to name just a few.

Please enjoy this edition that includes our first Spirit Week, our first Dine and Donate, and the Pleasant Hill City Community Service Day. Also note that Upcoming Events are through January 3rd.

This is our first Spirit Week and students have chosen some meaningful and fun themes. Help your child show their School Spirit!

Please support the great work of our PTSA by eating at Jacks this Tuesday. Our PTSA funds a wide range of programs to enrich the lives and education of our childlren. These include the work of Mr. Dan, our Ram Ticket Trade In, Spelling and Geography Bees, Staff Appreciation, Assemblies, and much more.

You can also support this amazing work through Fund for Excellence Donate Today!

From our PTSA:

PHMS will be participating in the Pleasant Hill Community Service Day! We are hoping to spruce up our quad and garden area including cleaning up the quad planter boxes and open areas, touch-up paint in the quad, general cleaning and weeding/mulching. If you have a green thumb (or not) and want to volunteer, we would love your help on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 9 am - 12 pm. Sign up here.

Additionally, we are in need of some items. Do you have or your company have any availability to help gather these before we purchase them? Do you have a power washer we could borrow for the day? If you are able to donate or help, please contact phmsptsapres@gmail.com.

Needed supplies:

Mulch

Hardy, full, colorful plants. Drought tolerant and colorful.

Small paint rollers

Paint brushes

Powerwasher

We provide morning supervision starting at 7:50 and after school until 2:45. This supervision is only on campus, not at the park or library or other off site locations. We highly recommend that you have after school arrangements where students have planned activities and supervision. Thank you.

All students now have our school planner. Please have your child share this with you so that you can discuss our dress code, policies, and expectations.
