Students in Mrs. Alger's English class completed projects based on Night, by Elie Wiesel. Projects included movie posters, timelines, letters to Elie and Nazi soldiers, 3D models of the concentration camps or what they perceived Elie's room looked like. Some also drew character analysis posters or constructed gravestones remembering those who lived through the holocaust.

Earlier this spring, middle and high school students throughout the county submitted their best sandwich ideas and then all middle and high students were given a chance to vote for their favorite submission. PCPS Nutritional Services is excited to serve the winning "Knockout Sandwich" on May 26, 2023, at all middle and high schools. The sandwich, created by Page County Middle School students Atari Good and Jackson McInturff, was based on their favorite meats and cheese. They are also fans of Creed films (Rocky spinoffs) leading to their sandwich name. If this sandwich is truly a "knockout", it may appear on future menus! Thanks to all who submitted sandwich ideas and voted.
