PC Elementary had fun with Mysterious Monday today-Dress like PE teacher Joe Sieving!
PCJH was honored to host our veterans and community last Tuesday. The Forrest American Legion’s Color Guard presented the flags. Our very own Mrs. Kratochvil shared the story of her grandfather. The PCJH band played the National Anthem and a tribute to the Armed Forces. Ellen Quain explained that our care package drive is for thirty members of her mother’s squadron currently stationed in Kuwait. If you would like to donate to the care packages, please use the attached list and have all donations to the school by Friday, November 21. Again, we at PCJH realize that our freedom is not free and send our heartfelt thanks to all those who have or are currently serving!
Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Ally Tipton!
Ally, an 8th grader, was nominated by Coach Tremel, who wrote, "This season Ally has shown amazing effort and attitude! She plays hard, defends with heart, and never gives up or backs down from a challenge. She’s one of those players who makes her teammates better just by how she competes and encourages everyone around her. No matter what’s happening in the game, she keeps a positive attitude and finds a way to help the team. I'm proud of how she’s continuing to grow as both a player and a teammate." Ally is also involved in student council, FFA, school librarian, volleyball, and track.

Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Rylan Leman!
Rylan, a 7th grader, was nominated by Ms. Scheulin, who wrote, "I chose Rylan as our Student of the Week because he consistently goes above and beyond in my class. He is always on top of his work, takes pride in everything he does, and approaches each assignment with focus and determination. Rylan is also incredibly curious, he asks thoughtful questions, seeks to understand topics more deeply, and shows a genuine excitement for learning that is contagious.
What makes Rylan especially deserving of this recognition is how his enthusiasm for learning inspires those around him. His positive energy encourages his classmates to stay engaged and curious too. In addition to his academic excellence, Rylan is kind, respectful, and a great friend to his peers. He helps others without hesitation and contributes to a supportive, welcoming classroom environment.
Rylan’s curiosity, kindness, and leadership make him a true role model in our class, and I’m so proud to recognize him as this week’s Student of the Week." Rylan is also involved in FFA.
