Over the past weekend, the PMHS Forensics Speech Team competed at the Hugh McEvoy Memorial Tournament at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan.

Attention students: if you ever arrive at our school and see the blue lights on, you must go home or to the police or fire station. These blue lights are an indication that it is not safe to enter the building.
We are rolling out our first PMHS Makerspace Challenge for the year. Stop by room 134 to create a game to be played on Ingall's field after our Pep Rally on October 13. Games will be evaluated for school spirit, popularity and functionality. Come to the Makerspace to design and build a game showing your school spirit and have fun in the process.
Attention All Students: Do you enjoy writing? Are you creative? Do you want a great opportunity to exercise your imagination? The Pelham Library is sponsoring “Pelham Reads Oz” during the month of November. In conjunction with this, Pelham Memorial High School is sponsoring a creative writing contest based on your reading of L.Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Choose a character from Baum’s original text and use your imagination to explore that point of view! Have your character journey through the land of Oz or to another time and place! Consider what happened before the character journeys to Oz, tell the story of Oz from another perspective, or place the character in another setting! Entries may be in the form of flash fiction or a short story. Deadline for submissions is November 30th, 2017. See posted fliers in English classrooms for more information.
Italy Trip Meeting - Attention all students who are going on the school trip to Italy in February- The meeting has been rescheduled to Thursday, October 19th at 3:11pm in room 214. Your attendance is expected as Signora Caparotta will be going over important trip details.

Your Monday root word of the week is: prot/o, which means: primitive, first. This Greek root appears in many English words such as: prototype - the first of a kind; proton - on of the very basic parts of an atom; protocol - a first draft from which a document is prepared.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK- “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde
