Building Grit and Resilience in Middle School Learners
-Presented by Ramy Mahmoud, M.Ed
Whether it’s the transition from elementary, or the continued work-life balancing act as you approach high school, the middle school years are challenging. With new/ continuing responsibilities and expectations, learners can often find themselves at a tipping point. Come be part of the conversation as to how parents, learners, and educators can all work together to help nudge your learner down the "right" path of confidence, pride, and academic success.
Ramy Mahmoud is a national science specialist for Savvas Learning Company, a professor at UT-Dallas, a former PISD Teacher of the Year, and current parent of a Schim learner. Ramy has two TED talks and speaks all across the country about his passion: Engaging learners in the classroom. Ramy is learning to manage this transition just like the rest of us, but his insight on how to help learners build intrinsic motivation to overcome obstacles is powerful and will develop multiple stepping stones for parents and learners to build on together.
Socks for the Sole
10/12/2023 12:27 pm
We are thrilled to invite you to participate in the Annual PALS Socks for the Sole Sock Drive, an initiative that brings warmth and comfort to those in need within our Plano community. This year's Sock Drive will run through October 25th, and we encourage you to join us in making a positive impact. Please support us by donating new socks for youth and adults in one of the collection bins at Schim. There is one located outside of the gym and another bin in the main foyer near the cafeteria. All donated items will be shared with area nonprofit organizations that support the Plano homeless community. Please join our SMS PALs in showing compassion to our Plano community members in need by donating to this worthy cause.
Thank you in advance for helping our campus PALs join the PALs across the district in collecting new socks for the homeless community. If you have any questions, please reach out to our PALs sponsor, Kristin Zhang, kristin.zhang@pisd.edu.
