Congratulations to Pelham Middle School 8th graders Eloise McGibbon and Mia Ritossa who each received Honorable Mention in Lifting Up Westchester’s annual essay contest! This year’s contest, which is open to all 7-12 graders, asked students to explore the topic “What Role Does Housing Play in Influencing Our Future?”

Mia’s essay, titled “When a House is More Than a House,” focuses on the impact inadequate housing can have on families, including on public health, education and obtaining a well-paying job. 

Eloise’s essay, titled “Housing and Our Sense of Security” argues that Westchester County should take on a more active role in creating housing for those in need. 

Both essays can be read on the Pelham Middle School website.

Dear Pelham Middle School Families, 

Welcome to our first P.R.I.D.E. Post of the 2021-22 school year! We use this newsletter as an opportunity to share the events, activities, and accomplishments we are most excited about and  proud of. While this year has continued to pose unique challenges for schools, we have done our  best to make sure our students have a positive and enriching middle school experience. One of our goals this year was to promote an “Atmosphere of Joy” here in the middle school to counteract the  hardships students have experienced due to COVID, and we have designed many student  experiences around this objective. It has been a busy year so far at Pelham Middle School and we hope you enjoy reading about it! 

Sincerely, 

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The latest issue of the student paper, The Pelham Post, is here - https://pelhampostpms.org.

If you're interested in writing, drawing, or photography please see Mrs. Rosenberg to have your submission included in a future issue.

Dear Pelham Middle School Families,

What a year! It has been a challenging and exhausting past ten months as our teachers and students have continuously adapted to changing DOH requirements, teaching models, classroom setups, bell schedules, and technologies. Through it all, they have demonstrated amazing resilience, a willingness to learn new skills, and a commitment to maintain our standards of excellence in teaching and learning in spite of all of the roadblocks. We conclude the year feeling tremendous P.R.I.D.E. for all our students and teachers have accomplished!

Sincerely,

Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees!

PMS is just one of 47 schools in the U.S., Brazil and Mexico to receive such an honor!
