Middle School Newsletter - March 1st, 2021
No Middle School newsletter this week - stay tuned for a message next Monday!
School-Wide Announcements!
Note from the School Counselors ~ Thursday, March 11th will be our schoolwide Career Day. All students both at school and at home are invited to dress up in attire representing what they would like to be when they grow up. If you are thinking, “Oh dear, one more thing for me to have to figure out,” no worries! Students are also welcome to wear any PCS spirit wear or college gear, as we will certainly be emphasizing that day the importance of education! Teachers will also be helping students discover the traits within themselves that may shine in certain professions. Throughout the morning students will be watching short videos from professionals in various roles throughout the community explaining their jobs, as well as, the steps they took to reach their chosen career. Students in Grades 4-8 will hear from presenters via zoom and have time for career exploration based on their interests. This should be a fun way to wrap up our frigid winter and head into spring break. Thank you in advance for your support!
