PJHS Parents,

We appreciate all who took the time to come to our Parent Teacher Conferences.  December is a busy time of year, which we realize, but any time invested in your children's education is time well spent.   Please mark your calendars for the next Parent Teacher Conference to be held on February 17th.

PJHS Parents,

As a school, we hope all of our students and their parents have a great Thanksgiving Break! For those who are traveling, please do so safely! There are always a lot of fun traditions to look forward to as we begin the holiday season.

We want to thank all of those students who shared their talents today in our Talent Assembly! We have so many talented students it is great that they would share their talents with all of us. The student body was excellent for the assembly.

GRIZZLY GROWLS

Serving Detentions

We don't need judges! We already know our students have talent and we saw that today during our annual Talent Show. Students sang, played instruments, tackled the Rubik's cube, sketched, danced, and performed skits and above all, had a great time! Thanks to all of those who worked to put it all together and to those who shared their talents with us. 

GRIZZLY GROWLS

Serving Detentions

We have a few students who owe detention time. These need to be made up ASAP! Please review with your student if they owe detention time and make a plan to get it done. The times are as follows:

After School - Students can serve detention on Mondays and Wednesdays in Room A23.

Before School - Mrs. Wagner’s Room D148 (must let teacher know it is for detention).

Den Time - Room A23 Monday through Thursday - ONLY WITH ALL PASSING GRADES.

Nebo After School 4H Activities

PJHS Parents,

Coming up in two weeks will be our first reward activity for those students who are in the Grizzly Club. Students who have qualified were given a Grizzly card in the past couple of days. Student with Grizzly cards have the opportunity to go see “The Peanuts Movie” on Nov 20th during the school day. Members can pick up a permission slip in the office and have a parent sign it and bring the permission and $2 to the finance office by November 18th. The bus will be loading at 8:05.

To qualify for the Grizzly Club students had to:

Grades

Students who achieve all passing grades, less than 3 tardies and 90% attendance in a term qualify for a special in-school activity in our "Grizzly Club Lounge". This month's activity, sponsored by our monumentally amazing math department, involved teams of 5 students. The students were given straws and tape and were to build a tower. As they made their towers, teachers encouraged each group to think about what shapes would give a good base. The team with the highest tower that could stand on its own won. The top three teams earned a prize. 

PJHS' annual Red Ribbon Week was held recently to mobilize the school and community to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Students participated in a banner contest to stamp out drugs, collectively walked 500 miles - each student walked 1/2 mile around campus, ran or cheered on runners in a 2 mile fun run, created a flash mob, and listened to speakers from BYU's football team including Tanner Mangum-QB, Nate Carter-RB, and Kurt Henderson-WR.

PJHS Parents,

We have experienced quite the excitement at school this week after the Today Show aired a story about our bicycle program. Our program was part of a study conducted by Specialized Bicycle Company researching links between physical activity and academic achievement. We have continued to use the bicycles in PE classes to help students be able to focus during classes as well as gain healthy lifestyle habits.

PJHS' bicycle program in partnership with Specialized Bicycle Company was featured Sunday morning on NBC's Today Show with Harry Smith. Please follow the link to see the story: http://on.today.com/1Mx9p7b.
