Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Molly Brown!
Molly, an 8th grader, was nominated by Ms. Seeman, who wrote, "Molly consistently comes to class prepared to learn and demonstrates a positive attitude each day, which transfers to her nonacademic life. She demonstrates a strong sense of leadership both in and out of the classroom. Molly is involved in Peer Partners and regularly helps students in the ACES classroom. The ACES teachers and paraprofessionals have shared that she is extremely helpful and serves as an excellent role model. This feedback demonstrates Molly’s potential to become a successful and compassionate paraprofessional, a career path she has expressed interest in pursuing. In ELA, Molly’s outgoing and friendly personality brings positivity to the classroom for both her peers and teachers. Beyond her positive demeanor, she consistently challenges herself academically and models the importance of perseverance and growth. I have had the pleasure of teaching Molly for the past two years, and witnessing her growth during this time has been truly impressive!" Molly is also involved in Speech Team.

Welcome to the unseen world! 7th grade science students swabbed phones, Chromebooks, dollar bills, and pencils—and grew what was living there all along. Along the way, they practiced their observation/inference skills and analyzed results to better understand how microorganisms are everywhere in our daily lives. This lab concluded our unit on Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, and Protists. We had a lot of growth during this lab—scientifically and otherwise. 😉
Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Marlie Voorheis!
Marlie, a 7th grader, was nominated by Coach Ropp, who wrote, "Marlie is a positive, tender-hearted presence who provides energy and a little bit of silliness to the volleyball team. She is an encourager to her teammates whether she is playing or not. Marlie hustles, works hard at improving her skills and is very receptive to directions for improvement from her coaches. She has improved so much from the 1st day of tryouts. Marlie feels that the skill she has improved on the most is her passing." Marlie is also involved in Girls Basketball, Band, and Cares Clowns.
