Maris is a very coachable athlete who is willing to work hard to improve her skills and knowledge of the game. Although she is soft spoken and a bit shy, she is gaining confidence and has stepped up to be a good leader both on and off the court."

Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Blake Johnson!
Blake is a 13-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the son of Coral Johnson and William Johnson. Blake was nominated by Mr. Grant, who wrote, "I have had the pleasure of teaching and coaching Blake these last two years. Blake is an exemplary student and a positive role model for his peers. Blake leads by example. Blake demonstrates responsibility, respect, humor, and a positive attitude. Blake also takes a leadership role in class by reading texts out loud, answering review questions and asking clarifying questions. His passion for history and geography shows in the class as he is able to share his outside knowledge with his peers. In addition, he even has knowledge of topics we are currently learning prior to our covering it. Lastly, Blake demonstrates his academic strengths in the quality of work he has shown in his writing and in his Social Studies work.
I appreciate all of the great things that Blake brings to the classroom and to our school. Besides his academic strengths, Blake has been a member of Scholastic Bowl the last two years. His geography knowledge has paid off in our matches as he has been the “go to” player when Geography questions have been asked. As a result of his contributions, Blake is a great reminder and a great reflection of the Junior High’s mission: Self Motivated, Open-Minded Individuals, Aspiring for Excellence, Showing Respect and Responsibility, Inspiring Life-Long Learning, Nurturing Creativity and Growth Mindsets as Productive Citizens."
While it was the 100th day of school for all PC students this year, it was our fifth graders 1,000th day of school since they began in kindergarten! Students and teachers made a paper chain of 1,000 school memories. We stretched it out to see how far it would go. It was a little longer than the perimeter of the basketball court! It was fun to celebrate this milestone!
