Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Rylan Miess!
Rylan, an 8th grader, was nominated by Mrs. Lackaff, who wrote, "Rylan Miess is an 8th grade member of the Prairie Central Junior High Band and Jazz Band. When Rylan joined band in 5th grade, he started on the flute. Last year, he taught himself to also play the clarinet and saxophone (both of which he now plays extremely well). What is so fun about Rylan is that he is such a team player. He is willing to switch between his three instruments to help fill out our sound where he is needed most. Currently, he plays clarinet for concert band and alto saxophone for pep band and jazz band! He works extremely hard both during and outside of rehearsals. In class he is focused and driven and so much fun to teach. Thank you for all of your hard work, Rylan!"
