The Seventh Graders sent 17 Military Care packages to conclude their Seminar Class. 

They began the Community Service project with a guest speaker. Coach Thomas spoke with them about what it’s like to be deployed, what it means to those serving to receive a package, and what items to include in the boxes. Students donated items and the Knights of Columbus donated funds to purchase the rest of the supplies. Finally, on the last day of class, students gathered together to stuff boxes with all the goodies.

Picture Retake day is coming up on Wednesday, November 2nd. To order for your Elementary student, click HERE or for your JRH/HS student, click HERE.

 

Students, Kameron Pringle and Noah Wolfe with Special Education Director, Ashley Dougherty had a great day at “Games on the Green” with other students from Arlington and Bennington. This was a great event where students played different events such as bocci ball, noodle toss, softball throw, and a giant game of freeze tag. Thank you to Bennington for hosting this event.

Congratulations to our October PBIS Winners! They were L-R, Abel Christensen, Bennett Biodrowski, and Colton Seefus. Way to be role models! The Elementary students were also able to fill the bucket with tickets. This means they get a special treat that they will all decide on soon. Keep up the good work Pioneers.

Life is hard. Sometimes it’s just too much. Students and their families deal with a variety of issues on a daily basis. School counselors, teachers, and parents are among the most important adults in a child’s life. Sometimes, when a child or teenager is dealing with a specific issue, it helps to have someone outside of the school that they can talk to, someone who can serve as an “unbiased party” in the eyes of a child.

In the first week of PAC summer camp, the students had the chance to learn about the different parts of plants, how they grow, and the different types. They got to “dissect” a flower to see the different parts. They had fun painting their own pots and planting grass in them. The pot was the face and the grass was the hair! Every day we did a different STEM and Art Project related to plants. Then at the end of the week, we went to Lauritzen Gardens. What a fun week!
