Our 8th graders had a great time at our Be Pro Be Proud Career Day on Friday! Students learned about a variety of career opportunities including customer service, budgeting, skilled trades, state police careers, nursing, automation, and many more.
It was a day full of hands-on learning, exploring future career paths, and hearing from professionals in our community. We wrapped up the day with a cookout for lunch, which the students really enjoyed!
Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with our students and help make the day a success.

The FINAL PJHS Junior High Book Fair of the year is HERE!
The PJHS Library is bursting with books galore, and we need YOU to help make our Book Fair a huge success! Every purchase supports our library and helps fund our final two Reading Goal celebration parties — and we still need more funds to make those events amazing for our students.
We’re also looking for donations and volunteers to help bring the fun to life! If you can lend a hand or contribute in any way, we’d be so grateful.
