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! 📚

Congratulations to our April H.E.A.R.T. Award Winners! ❤️
At last night’s Board of Education meeting, we had the honor of recognizing two outstanding members of our PCCSS family — Mrs. Tracy Surmelin, one of our dedicated Facilities Maintenance Specialists, and Mr. Larry Dunn from our Putnam County Primary School Guest Services Department!
These two incredible individuals go above and beyond in their roles each and every day. Whether it’s keeping our schools running smoothly behind the scenes or creating a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors, they truly exemplify what it means to serve with heart. Their commitment, positivity, and willingness to support others make a lasting impact across our district.
We are so proud to celebrate Mrs. Surmelin and Mr. Dunn for their hard work and dedication. Thank you both for all you do and for representing the very best of the PCCSS family! ❤️ #PutnamProud
Mrs. Jackson’s Putnam County Primary School class came back from Spring Break to something extra special—a brand‑new, fenced outdoor play space! 🎉 This safe and secure area gives students more room to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Additional adaptive play equipment will be added in the near future to ensure every student’s needs are supported. Judging by those big smiles, this surprise was a hit!

Over the past two weeks, PCPS students took their learning beyond the classroom and into the heart of our community. Visits to the Eatonton Public Library, the Georgia Writers Museum, and the Plaza Arts Center allowed students to explore stories, history, and the arts through meaningful, real‑world experiences.
Each stop brought our ELA unit to life as students reflected on essential questions such as, “Why is the past important?” and “What can we learn from the past?” They were able to connect classroom instruction with the people, stories, and creativity that have helped shape our community.
We are also grateful to the Putnam County Recreation Department for allowing us to use their picnic area for lunch and for helping make this special experience possible. It was a wonderful reminder that learning truly happens everywhere!
