Here is the last PI newsletter of the school year! https://app.smore.com/n/b1d70-pacific-intermediate?ref=email
In honor of Earth Day, students in Ms. McKinsey and Ms. Cayla’s classes learned about air, land, and water pollution, and how they can make a difference! 🌎
After their classroom discussions, students put their learning into action by teaming up to collect trash around the Pacific Intermediate fence and the Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center. 🧤
They were excited to help care for our environment and make our community a cleaner place!

Students in 6th grade science at Pacific Intermediate are bringing their learning to life by raising monarch butterflies in the classroom! As they explore human impact on the environment, students are observing monarch eggs and following each stage of the life cycle, from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly. 🦋
Monarchs are currently listed as endangered due to significant population declines caused by habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. Through this experience, students are making meaningful connections between their actions and the health of ecosystems. If enough butterflies successfully hatch, each class will have the opportunity to release one, becoming part of a real-world conservation effort! 💜

Congratulations to Bristol McKinney for winning 3rd place at the JAG middle school show case for Prepared Speaking. We are so excited for her as she competed against 7th and 8th grade students.
Congratulations and thank you to this week's difference makers.
Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

Our 6th grade Pacific Intermediate students in the Magic of Electrons course, part of our Project Lead the Way program, are building impressive skills in the classroom! 👏
From mastering tool safety to learning the precision of soldering, students are gaining experience with the fundamentals of simple machines.
The ultimate goal is to solder their own circuit boards to create a light-sensing night light!💡
