🔆 Solar Power Comes to Life in Mrs. Mills’ Classroom! 🔧🔋
Mrs. Mills’ Robotics and Math students had an exciting opportunity to participate in a hands-on, interactive lesson led by WV STEAM TAC, visiting from West Virginia University!
The lesson focused on the science behind solar power and its real-world applications in solar farms and energy grids. Using Snap Circuits, students explored how solar panels collect energy and how that energy is stored in batteries for later use—just like in real-life renewable energy systems.
Through this engaging activity, students investigated important concepts like voltage, current, and resistance, gaining a deeper understanding of how electricity works and how solar energy is converted into usable power.
Thank you to WV STEAM TAC for bringing this powerful STEM experience to life, and to Mrs. Mills for always fueling innovation and discovery in her classroom!

Tomorrow (Monday), Mercer County Schools is requesting that students show their love for BMS Buccaneers Principal, Mrs. Kim Miller. Mrs. Miller is courageously battling cancer. Please wear green tomorrow to show her and her family that we send our love and support out to them! Together, as a Tiger community, we can make a difference and bring a smile to Mrs. Miller's face!

Good evening PMS parents and students!
We had such a fun day dressing like teachers and students! 🎉 Tomorrow is School Spirit Day—wear your orange and blue to show support for our Tigers! 🐯💙🧡
• Pep Rally: Tomorrow during the school day
• Dance Tickets: Still on sale tomorrow morning in homerooms
• Homecoming Festivities: Begin at 6:00pm
• Game Time: Kickoff at 7:00pm
⚠️ Reminder: Students in grades K–8 must be accompanied by an adult at all times during evening events.
Thank you, and let’s go Tigers! 🐅✨
Starting this Friday, students will be leaving their laptops at school in a charging cart at the end of each day. They will place them in the cart to charge in their 8th period class (at the end of the day) and pick them up from that teacher the next morning before going to homeroom. We feel that this eliminate many of the worries and issues of "I forgot my charger at home" or "My laptop is in my Mom's car." There will be less burden on the students and they can focus more on the learning taking place at PMS. Thanks so much for your support for PMS and for your child's education! :)
Wellness Wednesday!
9/24/25
This week, the goal is to help students focus on gratitude, hope, and positive thinking. By highlighting what’s going well and spreading encouragement, we remind students that positivity can be a powerful protective factor for mental health.

🔦✨ Geometry in Action!
Students in Mrs. Mills' math classes explored dilations and the center of dilation using a creative flashlight activity! By shining lights through transparent shapes, students were able to see how figures change size while keeping their shape — just like in real mathematical dilations.
📐➡️ Using several different prisms, they discovered how moving the shape closer or farther from the "center of dilation" (the flashlight!) changes the scale.
Math is more than numbers — it’s hands-on, visual, and full of light! 🌟
