Guitar Club
Every Tuesday from 3:15-4:00, Social Studies teacher Ray Sommer will be
teaching the fundamentals of playing the acoustic guitar. Students and their instruments will meet with Mr. Sommer in room 105.
Checkmate In Three
The beginnings of chess are shrouded in
mystery, but the game is over 1,000 years old. Today, chess has become a sport dominated by youth and teen clubs, in schools and after-school programs. Please join the Prescott Mile High Middle School chess club (Checkmate In Three) as
we learn the fundamentals and then advance to higher level strategies. Whether you have never moved a pawn or have played since you were five, you are invited to learn a sport that is equal parts fun and thinking. Interested students should meet in Mr.
Dermer’s room, 307 on Thursday’s at 3:15 p.m.
Woodworking
Maintenance Assistant Ed Nemeth is continuing a new and exciting club at PMHMS this year. Students will learn the fundamentals of woodworking to include safety and proper handling of hand and some power tools. Students will apply their knowledge by working on and completing a jewelry box. Due to the cost of materials, Woodworking Club will have a fee of
$20.00* due at the onset of class. Intermediate level students will meet in Mr. McPherson’s tech room 439. Woodworking classes are offered in the fall and in the spring. More information regarding time and dates will be available during the second
semester of school.
Mile High Green Team
The Mile High Green Team is a club for any 6th, 7th, or 8th grader who is interested in helping make our school and community
a more “green” place to be. Our activities
will include recycling, educating others about how to be green, and helping our school become more environmentally friendly. The club will meet on Tuesday’s after school in Mr. Binder’s room (107) from 3:10-4:30. There will be $5.00 fee.
Harmony Habitat Club
Two science teachers from PMHMS received a heritage grant from AZ Game and Fish to construct a native habitat for fish and an
accompanying garden of native and specialty plants. The pond and garden project, named the Harmony Habitat Club, meets every Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30 with sponsor Mr. Merkel. We are currently working on the garden in a 1000-square-foot triangular shaped area between the 6th and 7th grade halls on our downtown campus. We hope that the habitat will be used as an outdoor classroom by our students, and become the home and visiting spot for many animals in our community.
