Plano Middle School Weekly Update

The Student Council would like to announce that we will be celebrating Unity Day at PMS on Wednesday, October 19th!

Unity Day is a day to celebrate unity, kindness, and acceptance. Please plan to wear ORANGE on this day to help celebrate. October is National Bullying Prevention Month!
