PCMS 8th grade students completed high school scheduling today with SMHS school counselors Loura Rinard and Kelli Meeks, and PCMS school counselor Jennifer VanZile.



Our Physical Education program teaches a variety of activities and skills during a 9 week term. A big emphasis is on those skills that students can use or activities they can participate in for the rest of their lives in keeping active, not only now, but well into adulthood. As part of our Lifetime Fitness skills, the 5th grade PE class learns the proper way to serve and return in Badminton.


Good luck to the SMHS Wrestlers at the state tournament! 💜💛






March 3rd-5th four PCMS students attended the 44th Annual Youth and Government Seminar in Charleston, WV. The seminar focused on state government and students actively participated in activities with officials in the State Government.

Mr. Nichols' 8th Grade Swim Class engaged in their survival swim activity. The activity includes treading water for 20 minutes while fully dressed.
Treading water is one of the essential skills needed when it comes down to survival situations.
If you are ever alone in the water for possibly an extended period of time, you can inflate your clothes into Personal Flotation Devices or PFD, which can help you conserve energy and stay afloat for much longer than you could by treading water alone - potentially saving your life.
