Last week Pinkston students learned about the chicken egg production process. They followed the process from ovulation through the incubation and hatching and even learned how to determine the sex of a chick. GT Explorer students had some hands on building experience! They constructed and wired a brooder in anticipation of a healthy hatch. Mr. Lyn Cotter, Pinkston teacher, showed students how to weigh eggs before placing them into an incubator, candling for viability, re-weighing after hatch to determine mass loss, and how to determine sex. Students loved having little friends with them while they learned too!

These 6th grade students met their honors reading goals this year, and they got to celebrate with Paradise Cream! Way to go, kids! Enjoy!

A huge thank you to Bryce and Andrea Koenen of Tenex Corporation for generously sponsoring lunch for our Pinkston teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. They also went the extra mile by donating several boxes of wipes for our staff and students to use as needed. We’re so grateful for their continued support and kindness!

Mrs. Dewey discusses some weekly highlights and sends out a reminder for families of graduating seniors! https://youtu.be/59FXgeRZ8so

This morning our sixth grade students who receive special education services at Pinkston Middle School had the opportunity to present their principal, Mr. Justin Smith, with an Above and Beyond plaque. They are so grateful to Mr. Smith for all his support and love! What a kind gesture to recognize him!

What an interesting concept! May 3!

The Donald W. Reynolds Library in Baxter County recently hosted almost 600 junior high students to view the Holocaust exhibit. The library was one of only 50 libraries in the nation to receive the grant to do this program. Many thanks to the library staff for taking our students through this powerful experience!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our fantastic team! You have huge smiles and even bigger hearts for our kids!
