PGM understands that the care, warmth, and encouragement we provide are as important as the curriculum we teach. This is never demonstrated more than in our yearly Tree of Giving.
This year, our Tree of Giving program was able to brighten the holidays for 45 kids from 17 families with hundreds of gifts. The gifts were joyfully given from students, parents, teachers, administrators, social workers, SROs, high schoolers, clubs, churches, community members, Toys 4 Tots, CPIE businesses, and our Parent Action Team.
We would just like to say thank you to our PGM and #OneLowndes community. We are constantly amazed by the generous nature of our school family. Thank for being #BetterTogether day in and day out for our students. Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️

Congratulations to our talent show winners! From left to right: Elijah Anderson - 1st; Isabella Ziegler- 2nd; Taylor Speller - 3rd. We are so proud of all of our brave participants!
