Our spring book fair is coming up February 16-20. As with our previous fair, this one will be cashless! Hosting a cashless fair has many benefits, and is easier overall for families and our school. Please visit our school’s book fair homepage to set up your student’s e-wallet. If you had leftover funds from the fall book fair, you will still need to set up an e-wallet for this fair, but you can easily transfer your student's funds. Other accepted forms of payment are Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay and credit cards.
Please email Mrs. Tibbit with any book fair or e-wallet questions!
We also need more volunteers! If you would like to help out at the book fair, please sign up using the Sign Up Genius link.

Congratulations to our young artists! During the last rotation, art teacher Sarah Walters helped several classes submit entries to the exhibition at The Windgate Museum of Art in Conway. Two PGMS students — 5th graders Hendrix Orona and Sullivan Hudgens — had their artwork selected to be enlarged and displayed in this juried exhibit. They will be honored at a reception the first weekend in February. We are so proud of their creativity and hard work! 🎨
