Owen is a 13-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the son of Melissa and Aaron Grant. Owen was nominated by Coach Grant, who wrote, "For the last two years, the Scholastic Bowl team has been fortunate to have the leadership Owen has brought to the team. Owen has led by example for the last two years. He shows his teammates the additional work needed to prepare for Scholastic Bowl meets and practices. He has pushed for new and fun games to play, which can help improve his teammates' knowledge. He has also taken the initiative to bring home questions to create a review game to play during practice. In addition, he and some teammates challenge each other in geography games. Finally, he and his 8th-grade teammates have complemented each other to create a balanced team. Owen is a great example of the strong link between participation in Scholastic Bowl and academic achievement. His work ethic and drive to do better are evident in both. His leadership in school and in Scholastic Bowl helps make PCJH a better place."
Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Mia Miller!
Mia is a 14-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the daughter of Brian & Rebecca Miller. Mia was nominated by Mrs. Harms, who wrote, "Mia volunteered to be a student librarian this year, and it has truly been a pleasure to have her in the library. She greets all the students and staff with a smile, encourages classmates who might be struggling on homework or just having a rough day. The day is truly sunnier when Mia is around! Mia has grown in her advocacy for herself and her education, asking for help when necessary and taking extra steps to excel in areas she deems more challenging. I know that no matter the task, Mia is reliable and will complete the task well and in a timely manner. In addition to her time in the library, Mia was a member of the PCJH softball and volleyball teams this year and has chosen to further challenge herself by joining Illini Elite Volleyball. She also performs with the PCJH CARES Clowns and was recently confirmed at the Chatsworth Catholic Church. We have been incredibly lucky to have Mia as part of our HAWK family, and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for her!"
