Thursday, November 5, 2026 is Family STEAM Night at Palms, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.

Students will lead 5- to 10-minute experiments or activities in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, or Mathematics. Palms families and prospective Palms families can visit each station.

Leadership students are collecting food for needy families. Please donate non-perishable items to the collection boxes in the Main Office and in each homeroom.

Food should be in jars, cans, or sealed packets. See the Holiday Food Drive web page for suggested items.

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Set your clocks back one hour. Otherwise, students might show up at Palms an hour early on Monday!

This is also a good time to check your emergency supplies and change the batteries in your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and flashlights.

Palms Press is the monthly newspaper created by students in the Journalism elective taught by Ms. Skidelsky.

This year's first issue (October 2026) can be downloaded from the Palms Press web page.

On Thursday, October 22, 2026, the fifty-year 2026 Time Capsule was buried on the quad. Students watched and cheered as the Time Capsule was lowered into its ditch and students, staff, and volunteers took turns shoveling dirt on top.

The Time Capsule, which will be opened in 2076, contains more than 50 items representing Palms Middle School in 2026. You can see a list of those items and a slideshow from the burial event at the bottom of the Time Capsule web page.

Update: You can watch a video of event clips too!
