Who says math can’t be FUN?! 🔢

Today, our Putnam County High School Service Leadership students took their leadership and service into the elementary classroom, partnering with Putnam County Elementary School Trailblazers in grades 3–5 to make math literacy something students could move, laugh, talk, and learn through!

Our Service Leadership students first studied math literacy and vocabulary so they could turn challenging concepts into activities that made sense for younger learners. Then they put that knowledge into action!

✨ Taught and practiced math vocabulary
✨ Created word problems using the Trail Blazers’ own names
✨ Played Math Freeze Tag
✨ Read, solved, explained, moved, shouted, and LAUGHED
✨ Helped students build confidence while making math meaningful, engaging, and fun

Moments like these show the power of students learning from students, proving that leadership, service, and a little creativity can make learning come alive for everyone involved!

The success of Putnam County Charter School Nutrition Director Teena Carr's weekly Wellness Classes at Putnam County Elementary School has been so exciting that Putnam County Middle School wanted to join in on the fun! Last week, Mrs. Carr visited two of Mrs. Harkins' classes and introduced students to a fruit that was completely new to them: star fruit! 🌟

Not a single student in the classes had ever tried star fruit before, but by the end of the lesson, students were asking for extra samples and leaving with a new favorite snack.

That's exactly what these wellness classes are all about: expanding students' minds and palates, encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones, and helping them discover healthy foods they may never have considered trying. Through hands-on experiences like these, students are learning that healthy choices can be both fun and delicious!

Way to go, Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Harkins, for helping our students explore, learn, and grow one bite at a time!

We are proud to announce that Putnam County High School has been chosen to participate in the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy for the 2026-2027 school year!

This morning, students kicked off the year by getting to know one another through icebreakers, discussing what leadership means, and jumping right into service by packing books for local children. Throughout the year, they will participate in service projects, grow as leaders, and learn the value of making a positive impact in their community, culminating in a student-led community project.

A special thank you goes to our Chick-fil-A Leader Academy sponsors, Dalton, Owner/Operator, and Michelle, Talent Manager, from the Chick-fil-A Lake Oconee, for their support and commitment to investing in the next generation of leaders.

Being selected for this program is a tremendous honor, and we are incredibly excited to watch these students grow, serve, and lead throughout the year. We can't wait to see all the amazing things that are still to come from this outstanding group!

This week, PCPS students will be visiting Butterflies and Blooms in the Briar Patch for an exciting educational experience! Students will learn about the fascinating life cycle of honey bees and have the opportunity to observe working bees up close. They will also explore the life cycle of butterflies while searching for caterpillars and butterflies throughout the gardens.

What a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences through hands-on exploration and discovery. Experiences like these help bring science to life and inspire curiosity about the natural world.

🎥 Don't miss today's featured video on the District's Facebook and Instagram pages!

📸 Be sure to stay tuned as we'll be sharing more photos from these visits later in the week!

A huge thank you to Gulfeagle Supply Eatonton Ga (Eatonton) for their generous donation of shingles, drywall, roofing underlayment, drip edge, and educational literature to Mr. Braswell's Construction Class at Putnam County High School! These materials will provide our students with valuable hands-on learning experiences and help prepare them for future careers in the construction industry.

We would also like to recognize two members of the Gulfeagle Supply team who delivered the materials and proudly represent the strength of our local community. Donell Pennamon, Driver/Forklift Operator, is a 1992 Putnam County High School graduate, and Van Dillard, Project Material Manager, graduated from PCHS in 1996. It is always wonderful to see our alumni giving back and investing in the next generation of students. 🦅

We enjoyed delivering welcome packets to some of our first-year teachers this week, courtesy of the Georgia Department of Education and State School Superintendent Richard Woods' Teach in the Peach initiative!

These packets are filled with Teach in the Peach merchandise and valuable resources designed to support new educators as they navigate their first year as Georgia public school teachers. From practical tools to words of encouragement, each item serves as a reminder that they are not alone on this journey.

The goal of this initiative is to ensure that our beginning teachers feel seen, supported, and celebrated, not only by our district leaders but by state leaders as well. We are grateful for the investment being made in the success of Georgia's newest educators and are excited to see the impact these teachers will have on our students and schools.
