✨Patrick Henry is celebrating Inclusion Week!✨
Our newly formed Best Buddies student group is proud to promote kindness, belonging, and acceptance for all. Throughout the week, students are invited to participate in fun dress-up days and intentionally look for ways to include others in our classrooms, hallways, and activities.
A special highlight of the week is Spread the Word Day on March 4 💙 — a national movement led by Special Olympics and supported by Best Buddies International that encourages the use of respectful, inclusive language and actions to end the exclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Together, we can continue building a school community where everyone feels seen 👀, valued 💛, and included 🤗.

PHMS is ready for a great week! The week is packed with fun dress-up days for Inclusion Week, basketball games, Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday evening, and All-State Band on Friday. Let’s make it a great week, Panthers! 🐾
We’re excited to share that multiple National History Day projects from Patrick Henry have qualified for the NHD Regional Contest at the Old Courthouse Museum on March 12. These students have spent weeks diving deep into research, analyzing sources, building arguments, and refining their projects. Best of luck to these students as they take their projects to the next level ! 👏🎉
🌟 Athlete of the Week: Bree Underberg 🌟
Bree is doing a fantastic job learning choreography, stepping up as a leader, and being a reliable teammate. She pushes herself to grow and sets a great example for others.
Way to go, Bree! 💙💛👏

I 💙 Public Schools! This week we celebrate National Public Schools Week! Public schools are where students learn, grow, discover their passions, and build lifelong friendships. We are proud of our dedicated admin, teachers, support staff, involved families, and students who make Patrick Henry such a special place each and every day.
Thank you for supporting public education and the opportunities it provides for ALL learners! #PublicSchoolsWeek #ProudToBePHMS

Our PH Dance Team took the floor at Lincoln High School this past weekend and represented Patrick Henry Middle School with energy, confidence, and Panther pride! We are so proud of the hard work they’ve put in and the way they continue to grow with every performance. Don’t miss your chance to see them in action again! The Dance team will be performing at the PH boys basketball games this Thursday and Friday. 💙🐾
We are so proud of our MATHCOUNTS students who participated in the Regional contest last week! 🎉 Six of our students qualified for the State Competition — Wyatt, Finn, Vihann, Luke, Andrew, and Dylan! These students have spent countless hours practicing challenging concepts, sharpening their strategies, and supporting one another as a team. Representing our school at the state level is an incredible accomplishment, and we couldn’t be more excited for them! We wish them the best of luck as they compete against the top math students in South Dakota later this month! ✖️➕➖➗🟰

We've sold 114 cards and we’re still working toward our goal! Keep selling those Domino’s BOGO cards and help support our students and staff. Remember — the card pays for itself with the first use and can be used all year! 🙌
🎉 NEW PTO INCENTIVE! 🎉
PTO will draw for prizes from participants in the grade with the most sales! That means the more your grade sells, the more chances you have to win! Looks like 8th grade is in the lead!
Let’s turn up the friendly competition and see which grade will come out on top!

We couldn’t let this week go by without recognizing our SRO! Even though School Resource Officer Appreciation Day was on Sunday, February 15, we want to make sure we give a big THANK YOU to Officer Ragland, our dedicated SRO at Patrick Henry Middle School. Officer Ragland works tirelessly to keep our school safe and secure, bringing peace of mind to students, staff, and families. His commitment, professionalism, and care help create a supportive environment where students and staff feel safe and supported. We appreciate all you do for our Panther community, Officer Ragland—every single day! 💙🐾👮♂️
