SPORTS PHYSICALS:
NorthernLIght, Northwoods will be at both schools on Tuesday, November 23rd to do free sports physicals for anyone in need. I sent out emails to all fifth grade students with physical forms attached.
Mr. Gallant has the list of all athletes that will expire prior to the spring season. The forms are at each school, and Mr. Gallant can get them to you/your student. A questionnaire needs to be filled out and signed by you in order for your student to receive an exam. Forms need to be back by 11/17 in order to organize time slots. Alternately, if your student is notified he/she is due to expire, you can have their PCP fax a copy of their most recent well-child check to the school at 876-4291.
PLEASE have student pass the physicals into the office and NOT the coaches! I have to review them all before clearing them to participate and they don't always get handed into me in a timely fashion.
Good morning! With winter right around the corner, I wanted to share the Winter Kids app/website with you all. In the past, we've participated in the program at the elementary level. Check out this link and see if there is anything that may work for your family to encourage the kids to get outside and stay active this winter! Maine has so much to offer outside!

Luke Knowlton, PA-C, from Northern Light, Sangerville, will be coming to both schools in the near future to offer sports physicals. Mr. Gallant has a list of who is/will be in need of a physical prior to the end of the winter season. If your child has had a physical at his/her PCP, you can have the office fax a copy to the school at 876-4291. Please, do not give physicals to coaches; they often don't make it to my desk in a timely manner.
Although the PCHS Field Hockey team did not win (2-1) their quarter final game at Dirigo today, they played their best game ever, in a hard fought battle with an evenly match team in the Cougars of Dixfield. Seniors, I can say that we all are very proud of all that you have accomplished over these past four years at PCHS. We ALL will miss your leadership and the passion you ALL have for the game of field hockey. You left it all on the field today and I'm pretty sure you are proud of how each of your team mates played tonight. As your AD, I am very proud of your sportsmanship throughout and how well you treat your team mates. Take care, heal up, and get ready for your next chapter of your senior year ladies. Go Pirates!

It’s that time of year for basketball tryouts. Tryouts are for all PCMS students in grades 6-8. . Listed below are the days and times that tryouts will occur. Please understand that in order for an athlete to be chosen for any given team, they must be present during tryouts.

Congratulations to the PCMS Boys Soccer Team for their 3-2 win today over Hichborn in the Penquis League Small School Championship game.
PCHS girls soccer ended their season with a 5-0 loss at undefeated MCI today. This was hands down the best team we faced all year, and we stepped up and played them very well. This season was difficult due to low numbers and injuries, and today was no exception. But we didn't let the circumstances get us down. The bus ride down was filled with singing and laughter and the girls played with tons of heart. Great way to end the season. Thank you to our seniors, we will miss you next year. GO PIRATES!
