Jase, a 7th grader, was nominated by Coach Scheulin, who wrote, "I chose Jase for Track and Field Athlete of the Week because he consistently goes above and beyond in everything he does. Not only does he work hard to improve his own performance but also he takes the time to support those around him. I recently caught him helping new students at high jump, offering guidance and encouragement without being asked. Jase has also taken several of our 6th grade athletes under his wing, both boys and girls, making sure they feel included, confident, and supported. He leads by example every day, showing what it means to be a dedicated athlete and a great teammate. His leadership, kindness, and willingness to help others make a lasting impact on our program. We’re proud to have him on our team!" Jase is also involved in Band, Speech Team, and Basketball.

Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Koltyn Fehr!

Finally, we took a walk in the Chenoa community to pick up trash! It was a beautiful day to take action in our community.
