“The truth is, parenting as well as having children, is a complicated journey filled with joy, humor, heartache, and endless learning.” – Debra Winger

“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” – Robert Fulghum

“The scariest part about raising a teenager is remembering the stupid stuff you did as a teenager”

“What it’s like to be a parent: It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do, but in exchange, it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.” – Nicholas Sparks

Welcome to March! We are so excited for the many wonderful events that our students will soon enjoy. We have our Talent Show next Friday, our 7th Grade College Field Trip on March 24th and 26th, and Career Day on April 4th to name just a few.

Career Day here at Pleasant Hill Middle School is an event that our students say is a highlight of their Middle School experience. Please help us make this a success by signing up yourself, or getting your friends and family to present. You and our kiddos will have a great time!

We are so excited to see the return of a long standing tradition here at Pleasant Hill Middle School, our Talent Show!

From Ms. O'Connell:

We’re excited to announce an upcoming talent showcase for all students: Pleasant Hill Middle School’s Got Talent Showcase. Students from all grade levels and teachers will be performing on 3/14 during school; want to come watch? Please join us! We will be on a special schedule: All 6th grade 8:10-9:20, All 8th grade 9:30-10:34 and All 7th grade 11:42-12:46.

Please join us at 7:00pm in Rm 407 for our PTSA General Meeting. It is that time when we are looking for officers for next year and planning for all of the wonderful end of year activities.

Thank you so much to Ms.Robin and the 7th Grade Team for planning this enriching field trip where students will get an opportunity to walk a college campus, get that collegiate feel, and enjoy lunch in the campus food court. This activity, like our Career Day, supports our AVID goal in preparing our students for college and career.

With our goal of Connectedness, we wanted a way for parents to know what there children were working on in each of their classes. As of today, you can go to our website https://pleasanthillmiddle.mdusd.org/ and right next to where this newsletter is posted you will see "Monthly Curricular Focus" with a link here showing current and upcoming work.
