Students and staff in the junior high held a mock election today, with contests for U.S. Representative and Senator as well as state-wide contests in the executive and legislative branches. Mrs. Bazzell, Mr. Grant, and Mrs. Kratochvil served as election judges. After students and staff voted, they were given their "I voted" stickers to display proudly. Who will win? We'll find out our results on Monday, just in time to compare them to the official results after the polls close on Tuesday evening.

Clay Pinkham, who teaches 7th grade science, was nominated by his colleagues for the Crystal Apple Award. This award, sponsored by Horace Mann, recognizes teachers for their outstanding work.
PCJH PE students participated in a simulation last week to feel the effects smoking cigarettes or vaping could have. First students determined their resting heart rate. We did a short workout of walking for 1 minute, jumping jacks for 1 minute, sit ups for 1 minute, and jogging in place for 30 seconds. Students were to find their heart rate again and document the change and notice how they felt. They later did the same workout but had to do their breathing through a straw. They again found their heart rate and identified how they felt this time. Some responses were shortness of breath, dry mouth, dizziness, and nauseous.
