EXTREME MAKEOVER FOR THE PCMS LIVING CLASSROOM HAS BEEN RECHEDULED FOR TODAY FROM 1-4 DUE TO YESTERDAY'S RAINOUT!
               

Be a part of the Fall 2013 "Brush Bonanza" and Landscape Design Challenge!
  
All students and families are welcome. Bring shovels, wheelbarrows and gloves.   Share your favorite bushes such as lantana, butterfly, beauty berry, and any other hardy sun loving bushes from your yard or local nursery.  Vines such as star jasmine, trumpet flower, etc. are also accepted!  These will be planted on the outside of the fence line.
  
Receive volunteer hours!
  
Remember, they need to survive full sun!  Donate a bag of planting soil to help! 
  
Contact [email protected] with questions.  
Picture Day is THURSDAY & we need parent volunteers!

Parents,  picture day is approaching (Thursday September 26th) and the
yearbook is in desperate need of parent volunteers.  The job is easy; line students up and make sure they have the proper forms.

All that is needed is for a group of parents to work a two-hour shift on September 26th.  The shifts are from 9-11; 11-1, and 1-3.

You main contact would be with Peachtree Portraits in assistance of their photographers.  There would also be a teacher representative from the yearbook to help
with issues.

In order to reserve a shift contact Mr. Ted Ward  at
[email protected].ga.us.

Thank you for your continued contribution to Peachtree Charter Middle School.
