Mrs. Tara Camp's FCCLA and Family Consumer Science Investigation students at Pinkston Middle School have been working on a recycle project that has grown into a community service project. The students have been weaving used plastic grocery bags into sleeping mats for homeless in our community. They have finished four mats and are working on the fifth. Each mat requires around 700 bags to be cut into loops and connected to make a long plastic yarn. Then, the yarn must be weaved into a mat. They have worked very hard, and we are so proud of them!
We would also like to extend our gratitude to Paula Lockard, a former Bomber, who heard of our project and donated money to both it and Pinkston!
If you'd like to help, please bring your used plastic bags of all colors to the Pinkston front office. Thank you!

A message from Dr. Jake Long: Bomber Families, I want you to know we will be monitoring the radar closely throughout the night. At this time, it looks like there’s a chance we might need an early dismissal tomorrow, and I wanted to give you all time to prepare for that possibility. As this snow system continues to evolve, I will have more definite information and will share it with you as soon as I can. Thank you.

During the fall, our social studies students entered a local essay contest through the Fleet Reserve Association out of Gassville. The essay topic was "Why I Am Proud to be an American." The contest was open for all students, grades 7-12. Each of the 7th grade SS teachers at Pinkston narrowed down their top 5 from each class. We had two 7th graders who won the essay contest!!
