👕 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: College Campus Visits! 🎓
This week, we are recognizing AVID scholars who are stepping beyond the classroom and onto real university campuses — experiencing college life firsthand.
These visits give our students a glimpse of what their futures can look like. They can learn about majors, scholarships, and campus traditions, and leave inspired to keep working toward their goals.
Don’t forget to show your support for college and career readiness across PCSSD by wearing an AVID shirt and sharing your past or preparing for your future. #PCSSDproud #AVID #ServeAll

Mrs. Cojocaru, our Orchestra teacher, does an amazing job with her scholars. She inspires them to come in early to practice, as well as inspires them to give their best every time they are in Orchestra class!
We look forward to seeing our scholars perform!
This week, we’re spotlighting Mrs. Stephanie DeWitt’s kindergarten class at William Jefferson Clinton Elementary. Students recently completed an AVID jigsaw activity on story elements. Each group became “experts” on characters, setting, beginning, middle, or end, and then taught their classmates what they learned.
“It’s been wonderful watching them collaborate, think critically, and deepen their understanding of how stories work! Way to go, scholars,” Mrs. DeWitt shared.
Don’t forget to wear your AVID shirts tomorrow, celebrate student success, and keep building those college and career ready skills!
a special morning to celebrate the amazing dads, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures who make a difference every day.
Date: November 10th
Time :7:30am
Location: MMS Aux Cafeteria

Bus Driver Safety Awareness Week spotlight 🚌 Lillard Brockette has been driving for the Mills Middle, MUSHS, and Landmark for 15 years. He says he became a bus driver for the income but stayed because of his love for the kids and the job.
🌊 When he’s not driving, Lillard enjoys going to the beach and relaxing.
🗣 “Some days it’s tough since we are so short on drivers, but seeing the students’ smiles and the gratitude of some make it all worth it,” Lillard said.

At Comet Nation we recognize and celebrate our wonderfully diverse cultures every day. However we'd like to shout Ms. Billingsley's Art Class scholars for their wonderful Hispanic Heritage Bobbleheads and poster this year.
Scholars participated in a Hispanic Heritage Bobblehead Project, where they selected an influential Hispanic figure from a provided list. Each scholar created a bobblehead portrait representing that person and included a biography highlighting their life, accomplishments, and cultural impact.
After completing their individual projects, scholars worked together on a collaborative poster. Each scholar followed a color key to complete a section of a large coloring page, which combined into one unified mural representing our celebration of Hispanic culture and creativity.
