From the Desk of Mrs. Pendleton...
Greetings PHMS Students and Families,
This was the smoothest Augusts I've had in my 22 years in education. I knew it was going to be a great year, and the faculty, staff, and students are proving me right! Each day students are becoming more independent and taking ownership of their learning. This is amazing to see.
For the first time in a long time, PHMS has a strong, consistent team of educators, and it's is already making all the difference. The 8th graders are setting the tone for the year and their positive leadership is making a huge impact. We want this feeling of "team" to continue to your homes. We love your kids and want to help each and everyone of them along this journey. You play a big part in our mission.
- Special thanks to our NJHS members for preparing a video for the school board meeting and delivering the afternoon announcements.
- Best of luck to our boys and girls basketball teams, cheerleaders, and cross country runner who play/cheer/run their first games/meet this upcoming Friday (9/6) and Saturday (9/7).
- Congratulations to our 5th graders who won this week's missing work challenge.
- And finally Woo Hoo! to the 6th grade for winning the August Pirate Challenge Trophy for Attendance and Behavior!
The road ahead will have some twists, turns, and bumps. That's life. We will get through them together. Please reach out with questions, concerns, or needs throughout the year. JP
