Just as spring brings a bloom of hope after long winters, parenting too can blossom with the right support. As educators and staff, you see the joys and struggles families face every day. Parent Coaching is here to help parents in our district find encouragement, tools, and renewed confidence—so they can experience the beauty in their parenting journey. Together, we can support stronger families and brighter futures.

Martin Luther King, Jr said “Life’s persistent and most urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’” Following  flooding that impacted McDowell County, the PMS student government decided that we would be blessed to be able help our neighbors.  After raising $1,300, students went on a shopping spree for items students in McDowell might benefit from.   We want to thank Jumpin’ Johnny’s popcorn, Danny and Linda Lively and the PMS faculty and staff for donations to help raise the funds.  We would also like to thank Walmart in Princeton for a gift card donation to help with the shopping, bringing our total to $1,400.   We are thankful for a giving community and students with a heart for giving and doing for others!
