Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Ben Joseph!
Ben is a 14-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the son of Kelli Vagasky and Ben Joseph. Ben was nominated by Mrs. Lackaff, who wrote, "Ben has been a part of the band program at Prairie Central since he moved into the district in 6th grade. He plays trumpet in the PCJH Concert Band, Pep Band, and Jazz Band. He also studies trumpet with a private instructor to further his abilities. In his time at PCJH, he has participated in IGSMA Solo & Ensemble Contest in both 7th and 8th Grade, earning Division 1 ratings for his trumpet solos. Additionally, he auditioned for and was accepted into the ILMEA All-District Concert Band and All-District Jazz Band in both 7th and 8th grade. Ben is an extremely talented and accomplished musician and is an example for others of the results that hard work yields. Ben has also used his talents on numerous occasions, including both Veteran's Day assemblies and Memorial Day observances, to honor veterans and fallen service members by learning and performing Taps. Keep up the great work Ben!" Ben is also involved in FFA, 4-H, Student Council, and Track & Field.
Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Cadyn Pride!
Cadyn is a 13-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the daughter of Amber and Bruce Pride. Cadyn was nominated by Mrs. Kratochvil, who wrote, "Cadyn exemplifies Prairie Central's motto of "Pride in Excellence!" Cadyn leads by example each and every day. She creates success for herself by participating in discussion and being attentive in class, learning all she can about our American history, and producing excellent work on comprehension and critical thinking pieces. Cadyn is also kind and thoughtful and is a good friend to her peers. She skillfully manages all of it while still actively participating in numerous sports and clubs, including softball, basketball, volleyball, and CARES Clowns. Cadyn is very deserving of being Student of the Week!"
