The girls basketball team had a GREAT morning at LHS for last weekend's middle school championship! PG won the first game against LMS. We fell short against Hahira in the final game, but the effort and camaraderie of all the players and coaches was awesome! LHS even gave the players a tour of their locker room! 🏀

Our 6th grade scientists put their knowledge to the test as they worked together to crack codes, solve clues, and escape the classroom!
Students reviewed weathering, erosion, deposition, and human impact while using teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to prepare for their upcoming assessment. Who knew studying could be such an adventure? ⏳🔓

🍎🥗🍪 The Culinary Crusaders have been busy in the kitchen! 👩🍳👨🍳
Over the past two weeks, our young chefs have been sharpening their knife skills while creating a fresh salad bar, making individual apple crumbles, and learning the art of cookie baking and decorating!
A special thank-you to our guest baker, Sarah Cannon, for sharing her talents and teaching our students how to make and decorate beautiful cookies! 🍪✨
From chopping and prepping to baking and decorating, our Crusaders are building skills, exploring their creativity, and having a whole lot of fun along the way! ❤️

Mrs. Soldani's and Ms. Roberts' 7th grade ELA classes teamed up for an EXTREME Spicy Challenge! Students braved Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Takis Fuego (watery eyes and all 😅🥵), and then we turned up the heat on our reading!
Students read "The Science (and Fun!) Behind Spicy Food" and annotated the passage to find out what was REALLY happening in their mouths. (Spoiler: nothing is actually burning. It's capsaicin tricking your brain! 🧠)
They hunted for facts, statistics, text features, expert evidence, and cause and effect, then explained how each one helps readers understand the science. Great teamwork, great thinking, and a LOT of fun!

We were beyond thrilled to welcome our Georgia Teacher of the Year, Charm Ellis Mapp, to PGM recently! Despite her incredibly packed statewide schedule, Charm has made it a priority to visit the schools of each of her fellow GaTOTY finalists, and today was our turn. Ms. Kenny, Mrs. Carswell, and our leadership team were excited to show her around our school and let her experience firsthand what makes Lowndes County Schools and its people so special!
Our military-connected students gave her a wonderfully warm welcome upon arrival, and we were especially honored to have Vallye Blanton—Lowndes County Schools’ 1994 Georgia Teacher of the Year—here to meet her as well!
