Do you have gently used books you would like to donate? Give them new life by helping Whit Badgett with a book drive for Pine Forest Middle School as a part of his Eagle Badge project. Middle-school-age appropriate books are preferred, but we will take Dr. Seuss and other children’s hardback books if you have them. Drop boxes are located in the front lobby and outside of the library.

If you don’t have any books to donate, but you still want to help, go to Lori’s Used & New Book Store or 2nd & Charles book store. Tell them you’d like to donate a book to PFMS and they’ll help you out! There a wish list in the front office, library, and these stores to give you an idea what we could use. This book drive ends May 31st. Thank you in advance for your support.

• Lori’s Used & New Book Store, off Bragg Boulevard and Starling Street, can be contacted at (910) 484-4588.
• 2nd & Charles, off Skibo Road, can be contacted at (910) 487-3356.

Don’t be a fool, support your school!

Maggie Haley won first place and a $50.00 prize on Wednesday, April 17th in the Civic Oration speech contest at ERC. This was a district/county level competition. The topic was to select “A person who has overcome”. Maggie received a trophy and so did the school.

On Friday, April 19th, Maggie returned to compete on state level. Again she walked away with first place, this time with a $100.00 prize. She also received a trophy and so did the school. Maggie will be competing in the nationals. She will be videoed here at school performing her speech very soon. We are proud of her!

Workouts will be held from 4pm to 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the month of May. Any rising 9th who is interested in playing football may attend. Any question they can call Coach William Sochovka <williamsochovka@ccs.k12.nc.us> at (910-728-9470).

Our new school hours will be : 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM effective 2013-14 school year
