Dear PHS Parents/Guardians,
We encourage you to participate in the Georgia School Climate Survey for Families. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us create a positive, safe, and supportive learning environment for all students. The survey is quick, confidential, and will provide us with important insights. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Students in Mrs. Rizoti's Business Communications class worked on their team building and problem solving skills. They built a spaghetti, gumdrop and marshmallow tower.
Be safety conscious, dress warm, and we look forward to seeing our students tomorrow, January 21st, at our normal class start times. The district will continue to monitor the weather closely and will send out notifications if something changes.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Trinity Church for Their Generous Support
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Trinity Church for their continued support through the "There’s Hope for the Hungry" program. Today, they provided multiple meal boxes to our students at PHS, helping make sure no one goes hungry during these challenging times.
Every 4th Monday of the month, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, Trinity Church opens its doors as a distribution site, offering food to families in need. Since last December, Trinity Church has served 86 families, reaching 262 individuals, and distributing 2,150 pounds of food. We are incredibly thankful for their ongoing commitment to helping our community thrive.
As part of our effort to give back, our students at PHS also crafted a special gift for the community: a mat for the homeless, made out of recycled plastic bags. These mats were presented to the Trinity Church volunteers, further strengthening the bond between our school and the church as we work together to support those in need.
Thank you, Trinity Church, for your generous donation and for inspiring our students to make a difference. Your kindness continues to uplift our community.
Together, we are helping make the world a better place—one meal, one mat, and one act of kindness at a time.
