Students on the first floor at PSMS know how to be generous.
In November, they donated much of their Halloween candy to soldiers overseas. They also contributed clothing and household goods to the Hurricane Sandy relief effort. But in December, the first floor sixth graders held an auction that raised over $1,000 for families in need right here in Plymouth. At the beginning of this month, sixth graders on the first floor donated new or nearly new items from home that they no longer needed. The assembled items were auctioned off and over $1,000 were collected.

The projects were on display in the classrooms for students and parents to view.

Here is what she had to say: "How do you guys do it? The lesson plan and the whole teaching part is fine once you're used to it, if you know what you're doing, but one person in a bad mood (not naming names) can put you in a bad mood, which puts the whole class in a cranky mood.
