Peachtree Recycles!
PCMS will be participating in a county-wide recycling pilot program.  We were one of seventeen DeKalb County schools chosen to participate and the only school in the Dunwoody cluster.  From September 29th until October 31st we are in competition with the other pilot schools to see who can recycle the most, based on recycled weight and school enrollment.  Monetary grants and field trips will be awarded to the top scoring schools.  1st place is $2,000 and 3 bus vouchers!

We are recycling throughout the school and are reaching out to the community to ask for help as we strive to be the number one school in the county!  Instead of placing your recycling on the curb in front of your house, bring it to us!  We will accept paper, plastic, Styrofoam, aluminum, tin and steel.  Our new recycling dumpster is located in the back of the school, behind the cafeteria.


Thanks in advance for helping us reach our goal of being the top school. Since we are the only school participating in the Dunwoody cluster, we hope that you will tell all your friends and neighbors to bring their recycling to Peachtree as well! 

Let's work as a community to use this wonderful opportunity to both recycle and earn some money for our school!

eNews Committee Member Wanted
We are currently a three person committee and would like to expand to four.  If you are interested in joining our committee we would love to have you.  We rotate the PCMS eNews responsibilities each month.  With four people each person would only have to handle the eNews once every four months!  We will train you but you should have good typing and proofreading skills, be able to check email frequently during your assigned month, and have access to a computer/internet.  This would NOT be a good fit for you if your youngest child is currently in 8th grade.  We want to train someone who can help for 1-2 more school years.

If interested please email us at pcmsnewsletter@gmail.com
