Is Christopher Columbus worth celebrating? That was the question Mrs. Lawrence's 6th grade classes have been researching. By analyzing primary/secondary sources, students took action to complete a debate. Who is on trial? Columbus, Columbus' men, Tainos, The System, and the King and Queen of Spain.
Congratulations to Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Small and Mrs. Decker. They received the Livingston County Retired Teachers Association scholarship award to fund new and innovative projects in their classrooms. Way to go!
Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Albrin Saltzman!
Albrin, a 7th grader, was nominated by Coach Razo, who wrote, "Albrin is a member of the 2024 seventh grade girls basketball team. Albrin has been a hard worker in practice. She has shown consistency this season making the effort to learn the game of basketball and to then apply what she has learned. During our first few games, Albrin has been our leading rebounder. Albrin brings enthusiasm to our games and practices and has become a welcomed addition to our program."
Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Caden Decker!
Caden, an 8th grader, was nominated by Mrs. McArdle, who wrote, "I have Caden for both homeroom and 8th grade science. Caden is polite and always willing to lend a helping hand. He works hard and strives to do his best in everything in which he is involved; including FFA and helping out on his family farm. Caden always comes to class prepared not only with materials but also with curiosity and excitement. Caden is a leader during class discussions and isn't afraid to share his thoughts and ideas during our SEL lessons in homeroom or during Science class. Caden is also hilarious! He cracks some of the best jokes and hits me and his classmates with groan-inducing puns. He is truly just an enjoyable young man. I cannot wait to see all that Caden accomplishes in high school and beyond!"
It was a pleasure to recognize the 25th anniversary of PC’s 1999 IHSA Boys Golf State Championship Team!!

The Junior High has been enjoying the nice weather this week with various outdoor activities:
The 7th grade science classes were visited by Mr. Saffer, who took them into the prairie just outside of the school.
The physical education classes ran the mile this week!
Our new picnic tables have been a hit with both students and staff!
