Parents/Guardians/Family Members/Community:
Just this morning, I recovered 4 vapes (see picture) from students at Paris Middle School. According to the FDA, 3.3% of middle schoolers have consumed e-cigarettes or vapes. Now this percentage doesn't seem that high, but what if it was your child that was part of the 3.3%. We are committed to educating our young people about the dangers of vaping. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS US CONCERNED! E-cigarette consumption among teenagers has increased 1,800% over the last year! We are discussing with your children the dangers of vaping, we are providing education for those who have vape issues, and we are trying to be proactive. PARENTS please help us! Talk to your children about this issue and don't be afraid to search their bags if needed. Please report to me if you hear of any vape use.
Mr Prieur
PMS Principal
The A Games are back! We want your kids here! All kids will participate this year but each kid will receive points for attendance for their team. So the more days your kid comes to school...the more points they earn!!! First A Games is October 13th!
These ladies have taken over the Principal's office in preparation for Eagle Talk!
PMS STUDENTS: Enjoy the weekend and we will see you next week!
