A HUGE congratulations to the Princeton Middle School Cross-Country Team!
The Tigers competed at the Cabell Midland state-level cross-country course and had an incredible day!
The Tigers brought home a FIRST-PLACE TEAM FINISH, two individual first-place finishes, and multiple Top 10 finishes!
Leading the Tigers were Markus Miller on the boys’ side and Taiya Cosby on the girls’ side!
Taiya not only won her race, but she was also the fastest sixth-grade female runner by more than 25 seconds! 🔥
Other Top 10 finishes included:
🥈 Decklan Handley — 2nd Place
🥉 Cooper Wade — 3rd Place
🏅 Anthony Broyles — 6th Place
🏅 Grayson Coleman — 8th Place
What an incredible performance by our Tigers!
This Saturday, the Tigers will take on some of the best runners in Southwest Virginia at Green Hill Park in Salem, Virginia.
Great job, PMS XC! Keep going, Tigers! 🐯🔥

This week in ELA homeroom, Mrs. Ray’s students put their acting skills to work while learning about nouns and verbs! Students drew cards from Mrs. Ray’s Mailbox of Fun and acted them out while their classmates guessed what they were portraying—and whether it was a noun or a verb.
Who knew grammar could be this much fun?! 🎬✨ We’re learning, laughing, and getting creative along the way! 💙📖




📅 Be sure to check the menu each week so you know what’s being served at school. 😋
**Save it, share it, and enjoy!** 💙🧡
