Fun in PE
(10/6) Mrs. Bishop introduced two fun and energetic new games that got everyone moving and laughing!
Builders and Bulldozers and Granny Pants!
Builders and Bulldozers: In this fast-paced game, the class is split into two teams. The Bulldozers work to knock over cones scattered around the gym, while the Builders race to stand them back up. It’s a fantastic game for improving cardio, agility, and teamwork.
Granny Pants: This hilarious game features one student wearing an oversized pair of stretchy pants—aka the “Granny Pants”—while their teammates toss various balls toward them. The goal? Catch as many balls in the pants as possible! The student who catches the most balls wins the round. It's a fun way to work on hand-eye coordination and teamwork, with plenty of laughs along the way.
Both games brought a lot of energy, fun, and fitness to the week!

PJH Homecoming Night
(9/29)✨ What a night to remember for PJHS! ✨
The homecoming game was filled with school spirit and celebration. Our PJHS band brought energy to the stands, with the help of a few special high schoolers who joined in to support them. The cheerleaders kept the energy high, cheering our 7th and 8th grade teams on to victory in both games!
Our homecoming court looked absolutely beautiful as they took the field. Congratulations to Adalyn Cummings who was crowned Football Queen and Lily Cooper who was crowned Homecoming Queen. Special thanks to Mila Patton and Alaina Smith for returning to crown this year’s winners.
We also want to thank Ritchie Chrestman for announcing during the 8th grade game. We know the boys loved hearing their names over the loudspeaker.
This was our last home game of the season, and it couldn’t have ended on a better note. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students - you made this homecoming one to remember! 🏈🎶👑📣
