6th Graders are getting a tour of JCMS. All 6th grade students in our district took a field trip to JCMS this week to get first hand experience of the middle school. After a warm welcome by the Coyote Band and a short play performed by the theater class, the students were split up into smaller groups. Under the guidance of JCMS student council, the 6th graders toured the campus and got some insider tips from the 8th graders. Questions were answered and 6th graders were able to witness a passing period between classes. This is one of the biggest changes students experience when moving on to middle school, and for some can be a little scary. Being able to watch for themselves can help ease that fear.
On May 4th from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, JCMS is hosting a 6th Grade Family Night. The evening gives families a chance to tour the campus together. Thank you to everyone supporting these events!

Bisbee Science Lab visits PDS - On April 25th and 26th, the Bisbee Science Lab was onsite at the PDS playground. On colorful tablecloths under the ramadas, five stations were set up. The students could experience hands-on examples in different areas like pollination, biodiversity, protecting and promoting insects, and decomposition. Students were collecting insects from the lawn, digging and looking at dirt through microscopes, learning about life cycles and different insects, and even had the chance to hold some of the insect visitors. One station turned the students into pollinators and let them experience the work through the eyes of a pollinator using special glasses. A wonderful encounter with nature and a great STEAM learning experience! Thank you Bisbee Science Lab!
