PTMS May 31-June 3

 PTMS Wildcats,

    We hope that everyone enjoyed their extended weekend!  Last week we had a lot of excitement at PTMS and many of our Wildcats took part in some exciting trips.  Our 7th-grade was able to attend their class trip to Philadlpehia.  The trip featured some site visits around the city and concluded with all of the students, teachers, and chaperones taking a boat ride on the Spririt of Philadelphia for a lunch and dance party. PTMS Renaisance student winners went on a bowling trip and were able to showcase their bowling skills.  The 8th-grade class was introduced to high school sports and what steps to take in order to become a member for one of the teams.  

In addition, the PTMS Academic League Team came in second place at the Salem County Finals.  Great job to the students who showcased their academic talents!  Also, our PTMS Drama Club was able to put on their long awaited performance of The Wizard of Oz for two nights.  Our students performers did an outstanding job of bringing Kansas to PTMS.

 PTMS Wildcats, 

   We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend!  Great job to our teachers and students last week for working so hard to complete our first NJSLA Testing in three years.  We look forward to seeing our student's results in the future!  In addition to testing, we had Mr. Dominque Willliams come to our school and talk to our grade 7-8 students about being positive role models and making good choices as they continue to move into young adulthood.  Also, our 6th-grade students went on their field trip to the Philadelphia Zoo.  All of the students and parents who went on the trip enjoyed themselves.   

This week we are looking forward to many great things taking place inside and out of PTMS.  Our 7th-graders will be taking their trip, our Renaissance bowling trip, and our Drama Club put on their performance of The Wizard of Oz.  Our students have been working extremely hard to memorize their lines and are looking forward to showcasing their character for the play!

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope everyone had a great weekend.   On Fridaay of last week, our 5th-grade students participated in a D.A.R.E. Ceremony.  All students received a certificate and duffle bag with goodies.  In addition, at the conclusion of the ceremony, each student was provided a snack.  We thank the Salem County Sherrif's Department for bringing this program to PTMS.  A special thank you to Ms. Denee Angelo who taught our 5th-grade Wildcats all of the lessons.  Also, last week, our 8th-grade students were able to spend some time at the high school observing students performing various band and music performances.  We look forward to seeing some of our middle school students taking part in future performances at our high school!  

 This week PTMS students will take their NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) in Math and English Language Arts.  Grades 5 and 8 will take the Science assessment as well.  We are encouraging all of our Wildcats to get a good night sleep, bring a charged Chromebook to school, and to do their best!
