PTS partnered with
Books & Books to
welcome the bestselling
author JAMES PONTI as a guest speaker
to share his journey from television writer
to book author with the sixth-grade class.
The discussion allowed students to explore
the themes of Ponti's popular middle-grade
novels. The visit coincides with his current
book tour promoting the debut of the series
The Sherlock Society.
PTS welcomed JIM
DEFEDE, an investigative
reporter for CBS News
Miami and host of the
public affairs program
"Facing South Florida,"
as a guest speaker for
its Mosaic program.
DeFede addressed
students' questions on
the integrity of the media,
the principles of fair and
balanced reporting and
identifying trustworthy
news sources.
The Middle School has its own leadership
team: THE 6TH GRADE LEADERSHIP
CLUB. The goal of the club is to equip
students with essential leadership skills
that they can actively apply to any activity or
project they participate in, fostering growth
and responsibility.
