    This is a PTA sponsored art competition open to all grade levels.  Each year there is a theme and students are encouraged to create different projects (poem, music, video, drawing, etc.) to go along with the theme.  The selections are judged by category and grade level within Pierce with the winners going on to the District and possibly State level.  There is a celebratory lunch at the end of the year.  Submissions for the contest are typically due in mid-November.

     Accelerated Reader:

    An ongoing reading incentive program for students in grades 2 - 5.  Students take a short quiz on books they read.  Tests are taken on computers in the media center and can be done before or after school.  Some teachers allow students to take them during the day.  Students can begin the program at anytime.  There are prizes for different point levels reached and those that reach the highest level qualify for a celebration event in June.  A username and password is required for this program and can be obtained from Mr. Seley.

    Battle of the Books:

    A program for 4th and 5th grade students that is sponsored by the Baldwin Public Library.  The program is intended to inspire children to read and introduce students to genres they might not otherwise select on their own.  This program runs from December - March.  Students read the selected books and form teams that compete against other schools in the Birmingham School District.  

     

    Field Day:

    Field day is typically held on a Friday in June.  Each grade participates in fun team building activities on the Pierce playground.  Mr. Chalker coordinates an awesome event for the students of Pierce as they close out the school year.
