PCMS's Parent Teacher Charter Council is looking for nominees and a Nominating Committee for the 2014-2015 school year.  

During the month of March, the Nominating Committee will choose candidates to serve on the PTCC as parent representatives. This is a group of parents who are charged with the task of finding three individuals to serve and proposing a slate for the 2014-2015 PTCC parent representatives.  You can suggest someone to serve on the Nominating Committee or you can volunteer yourself to serve.  Please take time and consider serving or nominating another parent to serve on this very important committee.

If you would like to serve on the PTCC, please also submit your name at this time. We would like representatives from all feeder schools who are interested in serving a two-year term.  One person shall be interested in serving as the Chairman for their second year as well as two other action team chairs.

Please contact Andrea Levy anareea@aol.com if you are interested in serving on the Nominating Committee or you are interested in serving as an action team chair on the PTCC during the next two school years.

We want to showcase your students' budding artistic talents. Encourage them to enter our World Asthma Day Poster Contest and help us promote awareness about asthma - a condition that affects more than 226,000 children in Georgia. Click on the links for the official rules and the entry form.

 

Who can enter?
Students enrolled in Atlanta Public Schools, Dekalb County Schools and Fulton County Schools. They do not have to have asthma to participate.

 

What should the poster be about? 
Each poster should be about how asthma affects your students or what it feels like to have asthma.

 

How will each poster be judged?
Entries will be grouped by school level for elementary school, middle school and high school.

 

Will there be prizes?
There will be a first-, second- and third-place prize in each age group. First-prize winners will receive an XBox Kinect. The overall winner will have his or her poster reproduced and given to area schools for display. The school will also receive a medical supply kit.

 

How do I enter my students' posters?

Please register today for the clinics at:  http://wildcatsbasketball.ticketleap.com/  

 

These opportunities are open to all boys in the area and encouraged to all those who are wanting to play or tryout next season. 

 

Spread the word!  SIGN UP TODAY. SPACE IS LIMITED.

One change we will be doing for Spring is to have the younger girls (3rd, 4th, 5th graders) on the court together with their own time slot from 5:30-7:00 and the older girls (6th, 7th, 8th graders) with their own court from 7:00-8:30.

If there are "new comers" to volleyball (6th graders) who would feel more comfortable with the younger group, by all means, register for the younger sessions.   The older girl's sessions will have more advanced training....preparing the girls for a little higher level of competition...preparing them for the middle school team and possible JV for the 8th graders.
