PART II: It's Pentathlon Day at @PKMSFalcons301. The staff had the tough task of meeting the "media" in a pregame press conference this morning. Let's just say that things got a little testy with some "tough questions."

WHAT IS LIFE? 🤔 7th graders at @PKMSFalcons301 created their own creatures that they found out in the wild. They created posters to show the characteristics & needs of living things & a picture of their creature. You can't help but stop, look & read for a bit.

MYSTERY! 7th graders at @PKMSFalcons301 tried their best to solve the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. What happened to more than 100 people who vanished? Students had a blast working together to using problem solving & communication skills to find out.
