Future Sharks, Weโre Ready for You!
Stop 1/3 complete!
Today was an exciting step toward August as our future 6th graders got a warm Hidden Oaks Middle School welcome! School Counselor Mrs. Romano and Principal Mr. Forte had the pleasure of visiting Palm City Elementary to meet with our amazing fifth-grade scholars.
We spent time talking about the transition to middle schoolโclass schedules, elective opportunities, clubs, and athleticsโwhile answering questions and easing those first-day nerves. The excitement was real, and the future is bright!
We cannot wait to see these PCE scholars walking the halls of Hidden Oaks Middle School this August. Get ready, Sharksโyour journey is just beginning! ๐ฆ๐
