Paragould Junior High School

We know the school year is wrapping up but it's never too early to start prepping for the ACT! PHS will host an ACT bootcamp on Saturday, June 3rd, from 8:00am-12:15pm for the June 10th exam. We will have English, Reading, Science, and Math prep for 1 hour each. Snacks will be provided. Have students check their emails for the google form link to attend. If they cannot find it, please email scooper@paragouldschools.net so I can send it to them directly. Also, Summer ACT Bootcamp will be July 10th-14th. Monday - Thursday will be 9:00am - 1:15pm and will cover English, Reading, Science, and Math for 1 hour each day. Snacks and water will be provided. On Friday, students will take a mock exam from 8:00 - 11:30am and then pizza will be provided for the students while the teachers grade the results. Students will then attend a review session with each teacher to better prepare them for the July 15th ACT exam. We have many student testimonies of raising their ACT score 2-6 points by attending this summer bootcamp. Prizes given away daily for students who attend. Please check your student email for the google form link. If you cannot find it, email scooper@paragouldschools.net and she will send you a direct link. Thank you!

OGMS EAST students Eden Treece and Zoe Stallings met with the Fraternal Order of Police to propose a potential EAST project. Eden and Zoe want to help fund (2) $500 scholarships for graduating PHS EAST seniors. They want to give back to the students that made such a positive impact on the program that they love. Community partners, White Inc. and Downtown Nutrition have already funded a portion of the scholarship. OGMS SRO Stephen Pace presented Eden and Zoe with a check this morning for the remaining amount needed to make this project a reality! Next Eden and Zoe will collaborate with the High School and Jr High EAST programs to finalize an application process before selecting the recipients to be awarded at the Senior awards assembly on May 5th at PHS! Huge thank you to our community partners, White Inc., Downtown Nutrition, and The Fraternal Order of Police! Way to go, Rams!
