Hello High School
All 8th graders will be going to Edison High School on Wednesday, June 8th from 10:45am – 12:45pm for an event called Hello High School. Students will get an understanding of what to expect starting in the fall as 9th graders. We hope this is both a fun and informative experience for our 8th grade class. Permission forms were given out today in students’ 4th period class. Please sign them and ask students to return them to their Learning Seminar teachers.
PTA Updates
Summer Glow – 8th Grade Dance
The 8th Grade Dance is Friday, June 3 from 6 to 8 pm. Tickets will go on sale in the cafeteria for $1, starting May 19. We need the following support from parents.
- We need volunteers to sell tickets during lunch periods from 10:30 am to 12:45 pm May 19 to 20, May 24 to 27 and June 1 to 3. Please sign up here.
- We need monetary support to cover the events costs. We have raised $750 from local businesses and need to raise about $1,250 more to fully fund the event. Our kids missed a 6th grade graduation ceremony, spent their first year in middle school mostly virtual and will be going to their first “normal” middle school social event with this 8th grade dance. The planning committee made a deliberate decision to sell tickets for only $1 to ensure the event is inclusive for all 8th grade students. If you are able, please contribute through MemberHub. Select the $25 donation or the custom donation for the Summer Glow – 8th Grade Dance. We appreciate any donation.
- We need in-kind donations of soda and snacks as well as volunteers to help set up, chaperone and cleanup. Please sign up here.

Community Sports Opportunity
The Pioneer Legends 13U and 14U baseball teams will engage in significant player development this upcoming fall season, beginning in August, and carrying through to November 2022.
Every week, players will meet with former UVA pitcher, Hughes Page, for small group pitching instruction and with Minor League player, Vaughn Parker, for small group hitting instruction. Players will also participate in one team practice weekly. The teams will travel to top tournament destinations, as well as play at top universities in addition to other traditional travel league play. Come join us for some quality coaching, quality baseball, and wonderful memories.
Please contact Ed Archer at pbsl_execvp@pbsl.org for more details.
