Today, at approximately 11:25am, an emergency evacuation took place at PCE due to smoke detection in the multi-purpose (gym/cafeteria) room. All students and staff safely evacuated to a location outside the building, and Fairbury Fire Department responded. It was determined that the smoke was caused by a fault in the heating system in that location. After determining that the building was again safe, the fire department gave the “all clear” for students and staff to re-enter and resume usual activities. All students and staff were safe during this incident.
Thank you to the Fairbury Fire Department for their quick response, and to the Prairie Central Elementary staff for the remarkable job they did keeping students calm, orderly, and safe during the evacuation. We are truly blessed

Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Luan Issleb!
Luan is a 14-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the child of Kyle Issleb, Jennifer Applebee, and Jillian Brown. Luan was nominated by Mrs. Vogel, who wrote, “Luan is an active learner and a hard worker that gives 100% on every activity and assignment. She is prepared for class instruction and asks great questions to further her understanding of the material. Although Luan is quiet by nature, she is great at self-advocating. If she doesn’t understand something, she doesn’t hesitate to seek advice or assistance. This demonstrates a maturity that few jr. high students have. Luan’s strong language skills and avid reading truly show her love of the written word. She plans to pursue writing in her future.” Luan also participates in the Art Guild.
PCJH Student Council presented the VFW local chapter with a check of $600 that represented their Buddy Poppy sales this fall.
