Welcome Messages
Dear Palms Middle School Families,
On behalf of the Friends of Palms, I would like to welcome you to the new school year! I cannot believe how quickly the summer has passed but am enthusiastic about the upcoming school year. I look forward to building community as we support our students, teachers, administrators, and the entire school community.
As a caregiver to a Palms student, you are automatically a member of Friends of Palms (FOP). Our school is strengthened through the involvement of our families. I hope to see you at the monthly FOP meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30PM over Zoom. As the school year progresses, meetings may return to in-person. The monthly meetings are an opportunity to meet other caregivers, Palms teachers and staff, and of course, to brainstorm and volunteer for activities that help raise funds that support the students, teachers, and school.
We all want the best for our children. One of my favorite outcomes of the work that FOP does is that it supports teachers in being more student-centered and increases enrichment/learning opportunities. Together, we can ensure that our Palms community is connected, that our school leaders and teachers are supported, and that programs are funded.
In partnership,
Cara Pohle
President, Friend of Palms
