Thanks to the generosity of our PLMS families and business sponsors, we have raised approximately 25% of our $20,000 goal, but we still need your help to reach the finish line!


We work hard to limit the number of fundraising requests families receive throughout the school year, which is why Tigers Together is our biggest fundraiser of the year. The fundraiser runs through September 13th, and every contribution helps support student success, enhance learning opportunities, and strengthen our school community through events and activities.


Our students who have participated in the fundraiser had a great time spinning the prize wheel this week! We are looking forward to drawing the winners for our Beats, Speakers and Hydrojugs next week!


Together, we can make a difference for our students! For more information or to participate, please visit the PLMS website, your Parent PowerSchool account, or the links below.

Due to construction, our parent drop-off and pick-up procedures have changed this year. Please keep the following in mind:

Cars: Enter using the new road off Persels on the south side of campus. Students will be dropped off on the south side of the building. Cars will then follow the designated route around campus and exit onto Tiger Terrace. The car rider doors will open at 8:05 am.

Buses: Buses will use the dedicated bus lane at the school’s main entrance. Bus numbers, pick-up locations, and pick-up times will be available in PowerSchool under “Bus Information.” The bus rider doors will open at 8:10 am.


For student safety: Please follow the designated traffic route and do not drop students off on the street or at Pleasant Lea Elementary.
