Implementing Campus Wide Writing Strategies- EVERY GRADE, EVERY CLASS
All PJH teachers are implementing the CER writing strategy in their classrooms. Getting students to understand CER is important because it helps them think through the scientific process. All claims must have supporting evidence, and students should be able to explain the reasoning behind their thoughts.
Acadmic UIL Meet
PJH competed in the academic UIL meet on January 18th at NCTC Gainesville campus. All eight teams in the district participated. The Junior High students competed very well and finished second overall. We finished the meet with 10 District Champions and 29 medalists. I am very proud of our students and coaches for putting in the extra work to continue our tradition of excellence.
Let's Dance
The PJH Student Council proudly presents Let's Dance on Friday, February 24th. The dance will take place in the junior high cafeteria from 6:30-9:30 pm. Our students and staff always enjoy this wonderful social event.
TMSCA
Our TMSCA students traveled to Paradise on February 4th. They dominated the competition and brought home the Sweepstakes Trophy. Please help me congratulate them all. The TMSCA team will participate in State Qualifying meets at Springtown and Whitesboro the next two weekends. Please help me wish them luck as all team members are working hard to earn their golden ticket for the STATE meet on April 1st!!
