Today was the perfect windy day for Miss Kuhn’s class to put their science skills to the test! 💨
Students headed outside to try out the anemometers they built themselves. Watching their creations spin in the wind, and actually work, was such an exciting moment!

Big congratulations to the PJHS 3rd Quarter Honor Roll students! Your dedication to your grades is truly "cool," and we couldn't let it go unnoticed.
To celebrate, we surprised our students with a quick trip to Dairy Queen last Thursday for some well-deserved ice cream! It was the perfect way to cap off a fantastic quarter.
A huge THANK YOU to Pana Dairy Queen for accommodating all of our students.

Ready, set, go! IAR testing begins tomorrow, March 24th at PJHS.
Parents, please ensure your students are at school on time tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Reminder: Wednesday is a 1/2 day! 🕛
Staying on schedule ensures students don't have to miss future class instructions to make up missed tests.

Help your student soar! ✈️ To make sure everyone has the best testing experience possible, please make sure your student is at school on March 24th - 26th.
Why it matters:
✅ Students feel more comfortable testing with their classmates.
✅ It avoids the need for "make-up" sessions that pull them out of their regular favorite classes later.
Make sure they get a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast. We've got this, PJHS! 🍎✏️
