Last week, Mrs. Sattler's 7th grade social studies classes researched Andrew Jackson's life and decided if they thought he was a Hero or a Villain. Then, they were tasked with writing a RACE response to defend their point. Afterwards, they designed a comic book cover depicting Jackson as a Hero or Villain as well. :)











Miss Wilson's students have been working on vocational skills in class. They spent some time putting their skills to work and helping keep PCJH clean!

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 Athlete of the Week, Sylvia Goembel!
Sylvia is a 14-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the daughter of Sarah and Keith Goembel. Sylvia was nominated by Coach Brown, who wrote, "Sylvia's growth and confidence as a volleyball player has grown tremendously since her 7th grade season. She is a player that is consistently working hard and doing what is asked of her. I was able to count on Sylvia to be playing and trying her hardest. Her abilities as an outside hitter, server, and passer in the back row were very reliable. She also always has a positive attitude on the floor with herself and the other players. It has been wonderful to see her break out of her shell a little more this year!" Sylvia is also involved in choir.
