Gabe, an 8th grder, was nominated by Ms. Scheulin, who wrote, "I chose this athlete for Track and Field Athlete of the Week because he is always looking out for his teammates and puts the team first in everything he does. He comes to practice every day motivated, pushing himself to do more and constantly striving to improve. His drive to excel sets a great example for everyone around him.
Beyond his work ethic, he brings an incredible energy to the team. He’s always making jokes, keeping things light, and finding ways to lift up his teammates when they need it most. He truly has everyone’s back, no matter the situation, and creates a supportive and positive team environment. His leadership, attitude, and commitment make him an important part of our team!"

Today was Author Visit Day at PCE. Author/illustrator David Biedrzycki came all the way from Massachusetts to visit with our students throughout the day. Students attended one of four different sessions during which David told stories about his life, shared the books he has written, and had conversations with them in which he answered their questions, told about his own struggles with reading and writing, and how his second grade teacher made reading and writing come alive for him. He went through his processes for creating books (including how all of his artwork is hand-drawn on his computer and iPad), and that it takes perseverance and a whole lot of rewrites/redraws to make his books come together. He finished each session with a student-inspired drawing demonstration. All students will get copies of the pictures generated. It was an amazing day!
Congratulations to Jules Woodrey and Easton Friedman on being 2026 Illini Prairie Conference Scholar Athlete scholarship recipients!

Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Brycen Butler!
Brycen, an 8th grader, was nominated by Coach Scheulin, who wrote, "I chose this athlete for Track and Field Athlete of the Week because he gives 100% effort every single day. No matter the workout, he shows up ready to work with a positive attitude and a willingness to improve. He is always asking what else he can do to get better, which shows his dedication and strong work ethic.
I have already seen a huge amount of growth from him this season, and it’s a direct result of the effort he puts in at every practice. He is the definition of a team player, supporting his teammates, encouraging others, and doing whatever is asked of him. His commitment and mindset make him a valuable part of our team, and we are excited to see his continued improvement throughout the season!" Brycen is also involved in band and basketball.
