💙✨ PCMS Kindness Week is Off to a Great Start! ✨💙 Today kicked off Kindness Week with the theme “Be Kind to Yourself”—a reminder for students to say something positive about who they are and take a moment to breathe and reset. We loved seeing everyone cozy in their pajamas while focusing on self-care and positivity! 💬 Tomorrow’s Theme: “Be Kind with Words” Challenge: Compliment at least three people and spread positivity wherever you go! 👯 Dress-Up Theme: Twin Day—show unity and positivity with a friend or wear a shirt with a positive message! Let’s keep the kindness going, PCMS! 👏💫

💙✨ Spreading Kindness at PCMS! ✨💙 Our PCMS Student Council recently visited The Heritage as part of Kindness Week, and it was a truly special experience! Students spent time playing games, making paper flowers, painting nails, and sharing lots of laughs with residents. This meaningful visit brought smiles to everyone involved and showed the true impact of kindness in our community. We are so proud of our students for representing PCMS with compassion and heart! 👏💐

🧪🦁 STEAM in Action at PCMS! 🦁🧪 Mr. Nichols’ STEAM class is bringing creativity to life by designing and building their own unique animals using their imaginations! Students are first planning their creations and then making their ideas into reality with hands-on materials. Using items like newspaper, tape (lots of tape! 😊), paper towel rolls, straws, paper mache paste, and more, students are constructing one-of-a-kind animal models. This project combines creativity, design, and engineering skills—a perfect example of STEAM learning in action! We can’t wait to see their amazing creations! 👏✨

🎨✨ A Very Spectacular Experience for PCMS Students! ✨🎨 Mrs. West and Mrs. Bennett’s classes recently attended Artsbridge’s annual “Very Spectacular Arts Festival” at WVU-Parkersburg! This exciting event gave students the opportunity to explore a variety of creative arts, including painting, music, drumming, yoga, and interactive dance. Students were fully engaged in hands-on experiences that encouraged creativity, expression, and movement. What a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow through the arts! 👏🎶

🚤 Students are in full swing preparing for our STEAM activity—the Cardboard Boat Regatta this Friday!
