Week 2 of PCCSS Summer Inspiration Camps was FULL of fun, creativity, and hands-on learning! ☀️
From making a splash with swimming lessons and cooling off on slip & water slides to whipping up sweet treats and delicious pizzas in the kitchen, our students stayed busy all week long! They explored gardens, picking fresh fruits and vegetables, engineered robots, built incredible LEGO creations, and even took their first steps toward entrepreneurship by developing their own business plans.
The energy didn’t stop there, our campers also hit the gym for basketball, baseball, and volleyball, all while enjoying tons of imaginative, creative play with friends! We love seeing our students learning, growing, and having so much FUN this summer. We can’t wait to see what Week 3 brings!

✨ PCHS’ Walk Down Memory Lane
Today was full of emotion, pride, and unforgettable moments as the Putnam County High School Class of 2026 took a special “Walk Down Memory Lane.” 🎓 Our seniors returned to the very halls where their journeys began—visiting their primary, elementary, and middle schools. What once felt big and overwhelming now felt like home again, filled with memories of how far they’ve come.
As they walked through the corridors, they were welcomed with cheers, smiles, and applause from students and teachers—creating a truly heartwarming and electric atmosphere. There were hugs, laughter, and meaningful reunions with former teachers who have been part of their story from the very beginning. And for the younger students watching, the message was clear: this WILL be you one day. 💙
*STAY TUNED....full video dropping Thursday! To view all pictures from today's Walk Down Memory Lane, please visit the District's Facebook page.

What a truly special evening it was as we celebrated our talented Young Georgia Authors at a reception hosted at the Georgia Writers Museum last night. First, second, and third place winners from each grade level, kindergarten through twelfth grade, were recognized for their outstanding writing achievements. 📖
One of the most exciting moments of the night was watching our first-place winners see their writing brought to life as a book of their own—an unforgettable experience for these young authors. In addition, our SEVEN region winners were honored with trophies in recognition of their exceptional accomplishments.
Judging by the promise shown in their work, it’s not hard to imagine some of these authors appearing on future best-seller lists one day! 📚
