2018 CCTE Advisory Night

"I was college and career ready because of my high school education." Cyra Hathaway, PSHS Alumna and our 2018 CCTE Advisory Night guest speaker.

The College, Career and Technical Education Advisory Night was an amazing event as our technical studies programs from both Plymouth South and Plymouth North High School collaborated with their advisory members to make ensure that our tech students receive quality instruction and learn techniques and practices in their respective programs.

The industry leader's input, guidance and support as advisory board members, provided valuable insight into our program needs and industry trends in our Tech Studies programs. They provided leadership, direction, feedback, work placements and industry engagement for our staff and students.

This year's guest speaker Cyra Hathaway, Plymouth Tech Studies Alumna, shared her powerful and inspiration story as a champion of College, Career and Technical Education. Finally, the Plymouth South High School Culinary program prepared a feast for 260 advisory dinner invitees.

Thank you to our advisory members for their continued dedication to our CCTE program!

Why I Write

PNHS ELA teachers celebrated National Day on Writing with a fun activity with their students. In an effort to brighten someone else’s day, students were asked to brainstorm and craft a short and positive message to anonymously share throughout the school. Students drafted an uplifting poem, phrase, message, or quote that someone else could benefit from reading. The results of this project were wonderful!

Grandparents Day Celebration

Hedge School had several special guests last Friday as part of its annual Grandparents Day Celebration. Students invited their grandparents to join them in some 2018 school activities. They were introduced to a typical school day at Hedge School and then participated in a variety of activities in the classrooms. Some activities included braiding bracelets, word sorts, fall craft projects, playing math games, reading books, writing in journals and more. It was an amazing day to celebrate learning with a special generation!

Fire Station Visit

Our kindergarten students took a walking field trip to the Plymouth Fire Station on Sandwich Street. They learned about the safety equipment fire fighters wear, the different types of fire trucks, calling 911 if there is an emergency, and actually got to climb inside a fire engine! Thank you to our friends at the Plymouth Fire Station for keeping us safe!

Peer Helpers

Our fifth grade Peer Helpers are ready to kick off the year. Mrs. Luise trained the students on expectations and how to be successful in this important leadership role. Peer Helpers will help younger students in the classroom with academic tasks while modeling how to be kind, helpful, and patient. Thank you Mrs. Luise and Peer Helpers!!

The house with the most sneakers will get a free snack during lunch. Thank you senators for making a difference in our school and community.

The Power and purpose of propaganda

Students in Mr. Hall’s 8th grade civics class learned about propaganda this week. Lessons focused on the power and purpose of propaganda, as well as, the seven different types of propaganda used in advertisement and politics. As we get closer to the mid-term elections, students will apply what they have learned in analyzing political ads for local, state, and federal races.

Communicating with Technology

Students in Communicating with Technology Class are using Adobe Illustrator to create word illustrations. By changing text into shape, students are able to make words look like what they say. Using the tools and skills they have learned, students are completing a project titled "Spiky, Fang, Fish." These skills will be useful when they begin making word illustrations on their own in the next lesson.
