For the Share The Wealth in 8th Grade Agriculture last Friday we had a couple visitors. Share The Wealth is a 10-minute presentation that each student in the Ag classes do once during the class. Blake Brown did his presentation on the different uses and breeds of sheep and brought one in as his visual aid. Later on, Cadyn Price brought in her bearded dragon and told the class about the animal and its care.

PCJH's Stars of the Week are Reese Weber (Student of the Week) and Aubrey Atkins (Athlete of the Week). Reese Weber is a 13-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and the daughter of Andrew and Kara Weber. Reese has a servant's heart and brings joy to all encounters. She joined Student Council as a 7th grader and is now the president of our council. Reese is incredibly dedicated to her responsibilities within the council, always assisting in organizing activities as well as supporting the staff and students at PCJH. This summer, Reese came in to work on the welcome bulletin board and helped chalk the sidewalks prior to the first day of student attendance. She has taken it upon herself to reorganize the Council's tasks to streamline the processes to make this year and future years run as smoothly as possible. In addition to Student Council, Reese has also taken on the job as student librarian. She is also a member of the PCJH choir, CARES Clowns, and basketball team. In her free time, Reese helps out at the Friedman family race shop. We are truly blessed to have her as part of the PCJH Hawk family and can't wait to see what this year has in store for Reese! Aubrey Atkins is a 14-year-old 8th grader from Weston, and the daughter of Dean and Darcy Atkins. Aubrey plays softball, basketball, volleyball, and runs track. Away from school, she enjoys riding four-wheelers and tubing with her friends and family. Aubrey is very outgoing and never needs to be encouraged to speak up and communicate with the team and coaching staff. She started the season playing centerfield, but when we needed her to switch to third base, she really took to that position and solidified our infield defense. Aubrey leads the team in most offensive categories, including batting average, on base percentage, OPS, base hits, and runs scored. Congratulations, ladies!
