♻️ Help Us Recycle 500 Pounds by October! 🏡 Farmville Habitat for Humanity and Prince Edward County Middle School (PECMS) are teaming up for a Can Recycling Drive, and we need your help to hit our goal of 500 pounds of aluminum cans by October! Look for the special recycling bin located in the PECMS cafeteria and drop in your empty aluminum cans. Every can supports affordable housing right here in our community. Let’s crush this goal together, one can at a time! 💚

Graduation will be held this Saturday, May 17, at 10:00 am in the PECMS gym. The ceremony will be live-streamed. Congratulations, Class of 2025! #savethispost https://youtube.com/live/mfeVmXJIWso?feature=share

The Elementary Honor Society is sponsoring a service project to gather Band-Aids, balloons, and stickers for the students in Lesotho. These items are flat and lightweight and can easily be packed in an extra suitcase of volunteers traveling to the Land of the Sky, Lesotho. Lesotho is located in the southern part of Africa. Students there really enjoy balloons and stickers! The Band-Aids will help their wounds stay clean, as these items cannot be bought at the corner store. The last day for the collection is Thursday, May 15th. #EaglesServe #GoEagles
