Good afternoon!
This web site will allow you to keep up with what’s going on at
Palmetto. Each week Palmetto Middle School is going to post a
weekly update on this page. This site will keep you informed of
upcoming events, trips, dates, projects, and holidays. Please ask
around to see if other parents are checking this web page for the
updates.
Upcoming Events and Dates:

Veteran’s Day Program on November 11th at 9:30 in the
middle school gym. We are asking for the students to bring in
pictures of relatives that are veterans, both past and present. This
includes faculty members who are veterans or have relatives that have
served. It may be a picture they have taken with them or an individual
picture of the veteran. They will take their picture to Coach Scroggs
during homeroom or during lunch, he will scan the picture and hand it
right back to them. These pictures will be used in a powerpoint. They
will need to include their name, the veteran in the picture, and their
branch of service.
We appreciate your help with this!

Beta Club Update: Please email Ms. Phillips
phillipsr@anderson1.k12.sc.us if you have any questions.
There will be a Beta Club meeting Nov 8 from 3:15-4:00 in the
cafeteria.
Update from Ms. Tuttle: Please email Ms.Tuttle
tuttlec@anderson1.k12.sc.us if you have any questions.
Ms. Tuttle’s class is collecting care items for Hospice.
We need Kleenex, hand sanitizer, crossword puzzles, and
hard candy. We send care packages twice a month to
families. Thank you for your support!
PTSO Update:
Palmetto Middle School PTSO, in collaboration with the Guidance
Staff, has begun a year round in school food pantry. PTSO has
donated over 800 cans of food which we have procured for FREE
thanks to the Feeding America Program. They sent us 800 coupons
for Chef Boyardee & Hunts products. PTSO took those coupons and
purchased food for our pantry. On top of that, we removed the
barcodes from those products to mail back to Feeding America
because 1 UPC = 1 meal for a starving child here in America and for
every UPC they receive from us they will reciprocate with a coupon.
That means we can continue collecting food for our pantry all year
long! So, please send in your UPC’s from these products to the PTSO
by December 15, 2011.

Banquet, Chef Boyardee, Healthy Choice, Hunt’s, Marie
