Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Elliott Grant!
Ellie, an 8th grader, was nominated by Scholastic Bowl Coach Grant, who wrote, "In her second year of Scholastic Bowl, Ellie has taken on a leadership role on the team, especially during practices and reviewing before matches. She has done this by helping group team members into opposing teams. She has also helped review before a match by finding questions to review with the team while Mr. Grant prepares for the match. She has enjoyed being on the team with her friends Lily Wilder and Natalie Bower. Finally, the highlight of her two-year career came in the past season when her love of Taylor Swift allowed her to answer all bonus questions about Swift song lyrics.
Finally, Ellie is a great example of the strong link between her participation in extracurriculars to academic achievement. Mr. Grant had Ellie last year in his social studies class and has witnessed her strong work ethic, responsibility, respect, and willingness to work with others. Her contributions have helped make PCJH a better place." Ellie is also involved in Speech Team.
