NC District 91 Representative
Kyle Hall
​Visits Eighth Graders

On Presidents Day 2019, NC District 91 Representative Kyle Hall visited with PGMS's eighth grade students in the media center. Mr. Hall shared his inspiring educational history, work experiences, and the events leading up to his election to the NC House in 2016. Mr. Hall also graciously conducted an open Q/A session with students, touching on a range of topics including current governmental events as well as the growth of Stokes County and the students’ potential roles in its future. ​

Laptops for Everyone!
​Many hands made the hard work of un-packing and processing these Chromebooks easy!

Every student will be issued a HP Chromebook laptop for the school year. Students will be responsible for taking their laptop home and charging it every night, then bringing it to school each day. Laptops will be turned in at the end of the school year, then reissued to students at the beginning of next school year.
The 1:1 Laptop initiative was made possible through a Golden Leaf Grant.

It Looked Like Santa's Workshop
​in Mrs. Hall's 8th Grade ELA Classes!

Students had lessons on individuality, symmetry, and following instructions while making snowflakes for the winter dance.

Water Review Stations in
​Mr. Biedrycki's 8th Grade Science Classes

Students worked with water to explore it's physical properties such as polarity, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, water cycle, buoyancy, density, mass measurements and volume measurement. Stations were used as a review so students could take this information and tie it in to the larger picture of the hydrosphere. By understanding the properties of water students could better understand pollution, run off and what makes a body of water sustainable for both plant and animal life. ​

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

Featured in the Stokes News 
8th grade students are learning that there is a great, big world out there!  As an extension of their novel study, I Will Always Write Back, students are partnering as pen-pals to students all over the world.  Several of the classes have already received video responses.  Students in Mrs. Hall's ELA classes were elated to receive letters from their pen-pals in Uruguay, France and Turkey.
