Stop Bullying One Tab At A Time |
The 6th grade GT classes are also working on a TAB project that goes with putting a stop to bullying. They are getting help from the entire campus with the collecting.
It started with a unit on WW II and the Holocaust and turned into collecting can tabs to raise money to buy a memorial to show that Pine Tree middle school 2011-2012 students are fighting back against bullying. Students will be working to collect the can tabs from sodas. They will be collecting them until May.
T-shirts will be available for the students to purchase if they would like. The front is going to say Pine Tree Middle 2011-2012 with 2 tabs on it and the back says Stop bullying 1 tab at a time. The Curtis/Rhodes classes have made posters and put them around the school and will be making anti-bullying statements on the announcements throughout the year.

9-11 TRIBUTE |
Friday, September 9th we will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks in a very special way. We will declare that Friday as ‘Red, White, and Blue Day’ at PT Middle School, but with a twist – all 5th grade students will wear red, all employees will wear white, and all 6th grade students will wear blue. If participation is 90% or higher in each class, we will go outside after announcements to the library lawn. Each color group will have a special place to stand as we create a giant red, white, and blue tribute to the memory of our fallen citizens. This will be an excellent photo opportunity from the roof of our building. We will culminate by reciting our pledges, observing a very special moment of silence, and we hope to have a live trumpet rendition of ‘taps’. |
