Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Hayley Swiech! Hayley is a 13-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and the daughter of Jeremy and Amy Swiech. She was nominated by Mrs. Kratochvil, who writes, "I nominated Hayley for Student of the Week because she is a hard-working, conscientious student and a kind friend to her peers. Hayley begins the day with a smile and good morning to me as she picks up her chrome book from my classroom. In class, she is always attentive to instruction and does her very best on graded work. Her comments during discussion lead to increased understanding by her peers, too. She leads by example and is a friend to all. Hayley very much deserves to be Student of the Week! Hayley plans to go to college and possibly one day become a doctor." Hayley is also involved in dance, volleyball, swim, and FFA.
