Common to many environments where young children share space, lice are easily spread. Please find attached documents that will help address the problem should it visit your home. We are taking measures here at school to prevent the spread of lice but will be less successful without your support.

The third grade students had a fabulous time at the Reading Museum! The students got to investigate the Legends of Dragons, and life during Medieval times! They also have a great time experiencing the Planetarium!

MGRC had a wonderful trip to Harrisburg to visit the State Capitol. The girls got to explore the Capitol, meet Representatives Shusterman and Friel, learn a little about advocacy and civic service while having a fun time with their friends. They were even invited to the floor of the House of Representatives after being recognized with a lovely introduction to the club. The girls stood and were applauded by our State Representatives. We hope that at least one of the girls was inspired by the day to serve our community in the future.

Student government proudly delivered the collection of animal donations to Main Line Animal Rescue and were able to monetarily donate $300 dollars! Thank you to the students of Manavon for supporting student government’s pretzel sale, our partnership with Manavon K-Kid’s snack table, and dog toy sale at bingo night. Thank you to our Home & School officers for helping to make our service project a huge success!

We are excited to invite your child to the PAMS Transition Day at Phoenixville Area Middle School on July 25th from 8am-2pm, where they will learn how to RISE Up to the middle school. RISE is an acronym that represents respect, integrity, safety, and engagement and is woven into everything we do at PAMS. This day is designed to help orient students to our school culture and layout of the building to make their transition to middle school as smooth as possible.

Please see more details in the letters linked below.

Students are often lent clothing from the nurse's office for accidents, spills, etc. If you child borrowed clothes from the nurse, please wash and return them as our stockpiles are running low. Also, please donate gently used clothing, especially elastic waistband pants.

Due to the many students with allergies and food reactions food items to celebrate student birthdays are not permitted. We are requesting that all birthday recognitions be non-food based. We do want to acknowledge student birthdays but encourage families to do so in other ways. For example, small items such as pencils or stickers for classmates or the donation of a book to the school or classroom library in honor of a child’s birthday would be appropriate. Thank you for honoring and respecting this request.

Holiday celebrations will be held in compliance with School Board Policy #246 Student Wellness. The policy states “The district recognizes that classroom parties and celebrations are a tradition at school. School staff and parents/guardians are encouraged to include healthy food offerings, as defined in this policy, at school parties and events to support a healthy environment throughout the district.” Policy 246 can be viewed in its entirety by visiting the district’s website.

Holiday celebrations and end-of-year classroom celebrations will be announced in advance for parents to be prepared in determining food choices with their children. Birthday celebrations are held randomly and do not allow for parent awareness prior to the event in the school setting, which contributed to the decision for birthday recognitions to be non-food based.
