Parents and Guardians, As we begin our winter sports seasons, please be reminded that all students from kindergarten through 8th grade, regardless of school district, must be accompanied by an adult at all PPS school and athletic events. Students from kindergarten through 8th grade will not be admitted to games without an adult in attendance. Thank you for working with us to keep the safety of our students and fans a top priority. Go Big Blue!
Here is an updated bracket for the 2A Sectional Basketball Tournament. Note that the boys game vs. Murray has been postponed until Wednesday, January 8, at 7:30 p.m, with the girls playing Webster County at 6:00 p.m.
Students in grades 6-12 are invited to Loqui, which will be held at the McCracken County Library on Wednesday, January 8. Enjoy snacks and drinks at 4:30 p.m. followed by a session at 5:00 p.m. Loqui is an opportunity for students to have conversations about belonging, community, mental health and empowering students' voices.
Paducah Public Schools families: Due to inclement weather, instruction will resume tomorrow, January 6, online using non-traditional instruction (NTI).
A NTI day does not change the school calendar. The last day for students is still Thursday, May 22, as scheduled.

Thanks to your generosity, 4825 pounds of food was given to the Christmas in the Park School Challenge, which was sponsored by Paducah Power System. In the large school category, Paducah Tilghman collected 5.723 pounds of food per student, finishing in second place behind Concord Elementary's 6.151 pounds of food per student. We appreciate the efforts of Mr. Nantz, who coordinates the food drive each year. When we work together, everyone wins!
The Paducah Middle and Paducah Tilghman band, choir, and orchestra have been practicing for their holiday concerts. Join us to celebrate the season!

The National Honor Society (NHS) is one of the oldest, largest, and most widely recognized co-curricular student organizations in American high schools. More than 1.4 million students are members of NHS. Membership in local NHS chapters is an honor bestowed upon a student by a faculty council and is based upon the four pillars of the NHS: scholarship, character, leadership, and service.
Together, we build a brighter future! At last night's board meeting we celebrated the swearing-in of our incredible Board of Education members Dr. James Hudson, Janice Howard, and Dr. Carl LeBuhn. We're so grateful for their partnership and commitment to providing quality education for every student.
Together, we build! Last week's victory celebration was a reminder of how necessary collective effort is to achieve great things. Beyond the efforts of the players and coaches on the field, so many community partners, family, friends, and alumni supported, encouraged, and gave of their time and money to achieve the goal of a state championship. Thank you! (Photo credits: Audrey Pullen, Communications Intern)
