Grasshoppers and Ladybugs and Ants– Oh My! On May 18th, PCE’s 2nd graders embarked on a journey through Fugate Woods courtesy of a Biodiversity Field Trip Grant from the Illinois DNR. Students explored the hiking trails in Fugate Woods, learned about the different types of plants and animals found throughout our state, drew what they saw in nature, and recorded their field trip experiences in their very own Nature Journal. This field trip is the culminating activity for Mrs. Fehr’s and Mrs. Small’s joint art and research unit about insects.
The last day for senior attendance is today, May 19th.
Baccalaureate will be held for the graduates at the First Baptist Church at 7pm on Sunday, May 21. Students should arrive at the church at 6:45 pm with their graduation gowns.
As of now, there is no rain in the forecast for next week so graduation practice will be on Thursday, May 25th after we finish our graduation walk at Prairie Central Elementary.
If your student is walking in the graduation ceremony, they must attend graduation practice! Before graduation practice, seniors will meet at Prairie Central Elementary for a graduation walk for our younger students. Students will need to be at Prairie Central Elementary no later than 8 am. After the graduation walk, we will come back to the high school for graduation practice. LifeTouch will be here to take graduation pictures and the senior class photo during graduation practice.
This senior class was the winner of our 2023 Class Cup. The reward for winning will be a lunch provided by Pizza By Marchelloni after graduation practice.
If you have any questions, please contact the PCHS office.
