Pella MS Newsletter
October 2025
There is always a ton of energy and excitement in the air for a homecoming week. We had a great week filled with dress-up days, pep rallies, and an Amazing Race at the end of the day today. We love the school spirit that was on display all week long.
With only 13 days left in quarter one, it seems like the start of this year has flown by. Now would be a great time to sit down with your student and find out a little more about their MS experience. Asking them questions like:
What’s been your favorite part of school so far?
-
What’s one thing that’s surprised you about middle school this year?
What’s a goal you want to work on for the next month?
If you could swap places with one teacher for a day, who would it be? Why?
- If you could wave a magic wand and change something about the MS, what would you do? (My personal favorite question)
Now would be a great time to spend some 1:1 time with your middle schooler. Go out to eat, get ice cream. or join them in watching their favorite show. Believe it or not, they like that time with you too.
Thanks for continuing to send us great kids. We are thankful for them each day.
