February 15 - Professional Learning Day - No School for Students
Come share about your profession at Career Day on March 11!
SEEKING SPEAKERS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CAREER:
Community 7/8 is hosting our first ever Pike Road School’s Career Day on March 11. This is a student organized project. The goal for Career Day is for students at Pike Road School to get a better understanding and to be inspired by possible career options. In the morning, we will have speakers who will share about their careers. If you are interested in sharing about your career, please click here and share your information.
SEEKING COLLEGE STUDENTS (or recent graduates) TO TALK ABOUT COLLEGE:
We are also looking for volunteer college students (not freshmen) or recent college graduates to speak at this event. They will share about college life and their major. If you are interested or know of college students who might be interested in being on a panel, please click here and share your information.
We will follow up with you once we review all the information.
The event will be at Woodland United Methodist Church. If you or your company would be interested in paying for lunch (approximately $850) and/or paying for school buses to transport learners to Woodland United Methodist Church, please send an email to info@pikeroadschools.org.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Community 7/8 Career Day Project Team
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Thank you so much for participating in the Box Top for Education Program. As a result of your hard work and dedication, so far this school year we were able to successfully collect $753.00 for the first semester.
For the remainder of the year, we would like to double or triple our box top challenge. To do this, we need YOU! Please ask your family, friends and neighbors to save your non-expired boxtops and donate them to our school.
Box tops will be due the 15th of every month.
We will have a traveling trophy for the community that collects the most boxtops. We will also provide a sweet treat at the end of the year for the community that has collected the most. So let’s get to collecting those boxtops!
There are drop off locations at PRS, The Waters, Woodland Creek and Town Hall.

Community 4
Learners are engaged in peer learning. They challenge each other and critically maneuver through the steps of comparing fractions as they work within their groups. They brainstorm ways to use this skill in their everyday life and how they might better utilize this tactic in the future. At the end of the session, learners reflect on what worked best in their groups and offer suggestions to make the next session more effective. Lead Learners monitor and conference with each group.
