New this school year, PCSSD has partnered with Chartwells to enhance our student nutrition department. The students are enjoying the change and are appreciating the new menus!
Students at OAK GROVE ELEMENTARY recently made ice cream after reading the book, "Ice Cream Summer." The ice cream project was a reward for 4th graders and Dr. Justin Luttrell, PCSSD Director of STEM, joined the class. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
MILLS MIDDLE scholars in Mr. Jackson's science class completed a "STEM IS LIT" project based off the book "One Grain of Rice." The protagonist earns a reward from the Raja for a good deed. Instead of riches, she asks for one grain of rice, doubled everyday for a month. Unbeknownst to the Raja, this request allowed her to feed her entire village. Scholars used critical thinking and problem-solving to complete the calendar. The final result was a number in the BILLIONS! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
