Today, our graduating seniors took a walk down memory lane--literally--by parading through the hallways of The Grove in their caps and gowns. 🎓 This is one of our favorite days of the year! It was full of smiles, hugs, and even a few happy tears. 🥰 Congratulations, Class of 2025! PGM is SO proud of you! ❤️ #OneLowndes #SeniorWalk #OnceAVikingAlwaysAViking

April is National Poetry Month, and Mrs. Kiefhaber's ELA students are quite the poets! ✏️They recently wrote their choice of a blackout poem or concrete poem. This assignment allowed them to show their mastery of figurative language, poetic structures, theme, mood, and tone--and let their creativity shine!
Mrs. Hinson's math classes are ready to GLOW when they show what they know! On Friday, they enjoyed a glow day as they reviewed for GMAS. 🌟💡
Softball tryouts will be held May 6 & 7 from 4:00-6:00 PM each day at the PGM softball field. Students must have a current physical on file in order to try out. 🥎♥️🩶
