The PTO is sponsoring a Box Tops contest during the week of January 30th and February 6th.  Box tops will be collected in homerooms each day during these two weeks.  The homeroom with the largest numbers will earn an breakfast party!  We are looking for someone to head up this event.  We have many volunteers signed up but no one yet to take the lead.  If you would like more information or can help, please email the PTO at prmspto78@gmail.com.  Please remember, most of the work can be done at home during off hours so this is a great way to help!

The PTO is once again sponsoring this event on March 7th!  This is an exciting and fun evening for both the staff and the students.  We need you help!  We are looking for someone to head up this event.  We have had many volunteers but no one to take the lead.  It would involve coordinating ticket sales, organizing a concession stand, and possibly a 50-50 raffle.  We do have last year's coordinator to help guide you thru the process.  Please contact the PTO at prmspto78@gmail.com if you are able to help!

The Lecture Lunch Series is a new initiative at the Middle School and we need your support!  We would like to have members of the community come in during lunch to discuss their profession, passion or hobby.  The students will sign up for the discussions which will be held in small sessions of 20 minutes each while they are eating lunch. 

The first session  originally scheduled for  the 3rd week of January has been postponed.  Please watch for dates to be announced within the next week or two.

If you are interested in speaking, please send a short description of your topic along with any particular materials or space you may need.  Also, please let us know your availability during the lunch period (11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.).  You may choose to speak during 1, 2 or all 3 lunch periods in a day (20 minutes each).

Please email the PTO at prmspto78@gmail.com if you are interested in participating.
