CPR Instruction for Students
We were thrilled a few weeks ago when our health classes shared CPR instruction with students. It's a life-saving skill and we're glad we get to train so many students to be able to help in emergency situations.

Our Spanish classes have been learning about Dia de los Muertos and we were fortunate to celebrate the Day of the Dead holiday last week on November 1st and 2nd. A big thank you to all the staff and students who contributed to the effort, especially to Mrs. Bartholomew and Mrs. Reilly. Enjoy the pictures of this wonderful event by clicking on the story and a video slideshow by clicking here.
In the Technology Student Association club the past few weeks we have been making pendants. We learned how to use face plates on the lathes and the laser engraving machine. We laser engraved the TSA logo on the pendant. Once most people had finished their pendent we had a competition to see who had the best one. This was decided by a vote of each member present on 10/25. Pyper Mccall, Ryland Fratto, and Linsey Mecham were the winners. In TSA we learn to be better leaders. We work hard doing projects but we still have fun.

Hispanic Heritage Month has finished and we celebrated here at PJHS!! Did you know that our school is 26% Hispanic Heritage ?! Our 9th Grade Peer Leadership class hosted a Fiesta Latino during both lunches on October 12th. They practiced hard to put together a dance performance called “Zapateado” with partner dancing and line dancing. The dancers proudly wore flags from Spanish-speaking countries while dancing! We decorated the gym, shared Mexican “dulces“ (candy), involved the crowd with dancing and piñatas, and had displays of flags and famous Hispanic-heritage figures.
Who says school can't also involve iconic games?! Here we see the math department hard at work using Rigid Transformations to play a Pac-Man Game. Each group had 20 moves to get as many points as possible.
Ever needed to build something? If so, was a marshmallow part of that project? It was, for our science students! Check out the "Marshmallow Engineering Challenge" from Earth Science classes.
Kindness matters! These students made posters to put up around the school to remind us why kindness matters. We could all use a little kindness in our lives.
Last week in the 8th grade English classes, students shared recently created spooky vignettes around a campfire!
Mr. Wright had a contest in geology class for the top "Principles of Geology" picture books. They were judged by Mr. Wright, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Sorensen. Sierra Snyder took first place. Carson Dahl took 2nd place, Lexey Manley took 3rd place, and Brookelin McDaniel took 4th place. Dr. Doofenshmirtz (middle) congratulated each student and will be presenting them with a reward of a few points extra credit and their favorite candy bar.
Students are excited about the new astronomy club at PJHS! They had their first gathering last Friday night and are happy to accept new additions to the club.
