This is BIG news, guys!

Congratulations to Stella Winninger. And Riley Payne! We have a couple of Track and Field STATE CHAMPS walking amongst us!

Friday night was a great night to be an Iron Horse Track athlete. Both girls and boys took the state title.

In addition to being team state champions, Stella and Riley both medaled in their individual events.

Riley and her relay team took bronze in the 4x4 relay. Stella took silver in the 3200.

An individual podium medal finish at the state meet is an incredible accomplishment and to do this as a middle school is AMAZING!!!

Congratulations to Ms. Finkelstein!

PSM's student choice for Staffulty of the Week!💜💜💜
Ms. Finkelstein, You make your students feel seen and loved. Thank you for all that you do!

Some kind words from Ms. Finkelstein's students:

Because she always makes me feel welcome and she actually cares about my mental and well being

Ms. Finkelstein is an amazing social studies teacher who is also extremely passionate about it. She is funny and very kind to everyone around her.

She's really nice and motivates us during Testing

She's always super helpful, and cheers me up when I'm sad

She helps everyone and helps me understand everything. She takes time out of her day to help everyone no matter what.

I picked Ms. Finkelstein because she always has a good attitude.

Enjoy your week, Ms. Finkelstein!!!
