Thomas Pyle Middle School, Bethesda, Maryland

The Facebook Page will be run by a PTSA moderator along with a Pyle staff administrator. The Page will have no agenda other than to broaden our digital base by showing our Pyle pride, diversity and academic well-roundedness. If you have any current school-year photos of school-sponsored events or photos of staff or students at school, feel free to send them in. We will only be able to post a small percentage of what we receive but intend to be as inclusive as possible in what we represent; we want to show Pyle in its entirety - athletically, artistically, academically and socially. Please send photos to PTSA Social Media VP, at lakelife1@me.com.
