The Philadelphia Flyers, Future Goals™, and PECO recently teamed up to provide Charles Boehm Middle School students with an engaging and interactive STEM-focused field trip at the Wells Fargo Center. The students explored STEM in action through five exciting activity stations, each highlighting different aspects of hockey, engineering, careers, and game operations. Supported by the NHL and NHLPA, the Future Goals Hockey Scholar™ initiative offers middle school students valuable STEM education through the lens of hockey. Students rotated through stations including Game Presentation in the control room, Shot on Goal with retired Flyers player Bob "Hound" Kelly, Locker Room Tour & Hockey 101, Zamboni & Ice Maintenance, and Event Changeover. After the activities, students enjoyed lunch with a special visit from Gritty and had the chance to win signed hockey pucks by answering Future Goals trivia. This hands-on experience provided a unique learning opportunity for all participants.

Eighth grade seminar students have been working hard researching a topic of interest for their I-SEARCH. Please help the students to continue to gather data by completing each of the surveys linked below. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated.

Students are welcome to participate in intramurals or clubs!

1. Clubs/Intramurals-Any student is welcome to participate in a club or intramural. These happen throughout the year based on student interest and staff schedules. Clubs and intramurals will be shared on our morning announcements. They will also be posted on our Daily Announcement slide show that can be found via our school website. Students must have a signed permission slip in order to participate in a club or intramural.
2. Students can take a late bus home. Just a reminder, that the stop may not be the same stop that they would typically take in the AM or PM. You may view the late bus schedule here in our newsletter when you click on the Transportation Information section.

Any incoming 7th or 8th graders who would like to participate in athletics must have a PIAA physical completed and turned in to Mr. Stanley before tryouts.

Students need only one completed PIAA physical form to participate in any sport all year. Middle school students must complete the entire PIAA CIPPE packet. This physical must be dated May 1st or later and is good for all sports for the upcoming year.

Practice and games are Monday thru Friday from 3:00 to 5:00 after school. Athletes may take the 5:00 bus home, walk or get picked up.

Starting dates for the 2024-25 Bucks County League Seasons are tentative and may change.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are happy to announce that the Treehouse Peer Support Group will be returning to the Pennsbury Middle School campus for the 24-25 school year.

Treehouse staff will be facilitating a support group at each of our middle schools for students who may be experiencing a hardship or struggle in their lives. The goal of the peer support group is to create a space where students feel safe sharing what’s going on in their lives and receive support from peers and adult leaders (see the attached flyer). The group will meet one time per week during the school day throughout the school year. If you are interested in having your child participate in the Treehouse Peer Support Group please click this link Treehouse Permission. Groups will begin on Tuesday October 1st, 2024.

If you have any questions please reach out to your school social worker.
