🎯🦌 PCMS CIS 2nd 9 Weeks Tier I Activity – Let the Hunt Begin! 🦌🎯 Our Communities In Schools “Huntin’” Challenge is officially underway, and our students are already off to an AWESOME start! Check out some of our first hunters who have successfully “tagged a deer” around PCMS! 👀🍂 Every 9 weeks, CIS hosts a Tier I activity to build school spirit, engagement, and fun—and this one has quickly become a student favorite. No camo required… but creativity, teamwork, and good attitudes definitely are! More photos will be posted throughout the week as students continue exploring the halls of PCMS in search of deer. 🦌✨ Great job to everyone participating—keep those eyes peeled, hunters! 👀🔥 #PCMS #CommunitiesInSchools #CISHuntinChallenge #StudentFun #SchoolSpirit
