Magnet Applications for Middle School & Kindergarten

Fifth-grade families, if you have a rising 6th grader and are planning for them to attend their base school, you will need to do nothing. However, if you would like your child to attend a Magnet Middle School, you must apply to the school of your choice. The application period for Early College is  December 12th. For all other magnet school applications, the deadline to apply is January 23rd.

FUNRraiser for WNC 

PME has adopted Hendersonville Elementary School, an elementary school in Western NC affected by Hurricane Helene. The school has expressed having enough general supplies but would greatly appreciate monetary donations to help families with specific needs. We will have a FUNraiser, and 100% of the money will support Hendersonville Elementary students and families.  

 

Beginning Oct 28 - Nov 8, we will have buckets in the fifth-grade hallway with each staff member's name and picture. The five staff members who receive the most money in their bucket by Nov 8th will participate in an Epic Inflatable Costume Race in front of the entire school on Nov 12th at 2:30 in the playground area.  

 

Send in your "couch change" or any monetary donation, and have your child vote for who they want to see running around in an inflatable costume. Take a look at the inspiration for this event.  Resources: FEMA HEALTHYCHILDREN.OR
