Come join us for our PJHS Student Showcase Night!
We are so proud of our terrific Students of the Week: Darbi Stanley, Spencer Brown, Katelynn Williford, and Lydia Maddox.
Mrs. Rachel Waters' Enhanced Algebra students worked together to match time and distance graphs with the appropriate situations and tables. This allowed them to then talk about constant and variable rates of change.
Much fun was made today at PJHS at the first Pep Rally of the school year! Students and staff had a blast! Our cheerleaders did an amazing job getting everyone in the spirit as did our fabulous band! Our athletic teams were cheered for, our Sources of Strength students gave a great presentation, and some teachers sure did show their spirit out there! Coach Dannenfelser did an amazing job as MC and teachers Torie Sutton and Lauryn Kilchriste showed off their rapping skills! Grade 8 won the "Spirit Stick" and we will keep this tradition going!
7th and 8th graders collaboration art for Constitution Day at Station 10 on Main Street in Jasper! Check out their amazing work all throughout next week!
The month of September is Suicide Prevention Month. Our Sources of Strength students participated in an event outside the lunchroom where resources were given out. They reminded students that they're not alone and trusted adults are here to help!
Thank you, Jasper Fitness, for sponsoring the PJHS Tutoring Program by purchasing snacks for the students!

Please see the attached invitation to our first School Advisory Council Meeting. This meeting is open to all parents.
Mrs. Tolar's awesome 7th grade drama students came up with scenarios using the five W's (who, what, where, when, and why). In groups of four, each group wrote a short script using a plot diagram from Language Arts and performed their skits for their classmates. Pictured is one of the performing groups.
After School Tutoring begins Tuesday, September 3rd!
