Hello Pine Hollow Middle School community. This is your principal, Andrew Livengood, with the weekly message for September 25.

• This Week: This week is a five-day week for students on Track 3 & 4. Track 4 will track-out on Friday and Track 1 returns on Monday, Oct. 3.
• Fun Run: The annual Food Drive Fun Run is back and will be on October 29^th at 9am on the PHMS track! This year we have two registration options for participants. You can register to receive a t-shirt for $20 or register to participate with no t-shirt for $10. As always, all funds will benefit the Food Bank of NC and contribute to the Students Against Hunger Food Drive competition. Registration is online or in person before school in the cafeteria 9/27, 9/29, 10/5 and 10/6. Please visit bit.ly/phmsfunrun22 for more information or see our attached flyer. We look forward to your support in this fun event!

• Social Media Presentation for Parents: Our counselors will be doing another presentation for parents regarding the latest social media trends and how to keep students safe. It will be Oct. 27 at 6PM. All parents are invited.

• Teacher Recognition Program:  Is there a teacher or staff member you would like to celebrate for doing a terrific job? Has someone been consistently outstanding or maybe gone above-and-beyond recently for your student/family? If so, I encourage you to nominate that person for our Top Gun Staff Member of the Month award. There aren’t any firm rules or requirements to nominate someone for recognition. The point of this is to recognize a teacher or two each month who was nominated by a student or parent. The teacher(s) would be recognized in front of their peers at the next staff meeting. In order to nominate someone, just fill out this form and make sure to clearly explain why you think they are deserving of this recognition.
