This year our Paraprofessionals completed a book study on the Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. Team time today was spent completing a reflective gallery walk! Additionally, Mrs. Fandell presented information on Behavior Strategies!

Just a reminder - senior rules are due in a week!

In keeping with Future Focus yesterday, Kaboom! and friends from Bradley stopped by PCHS to celebrate with some of our Bradley-bound seniors. The future is bright for these Dragons who will be Braves in the fall. #FutureFocus

Despite it being a cloudy day, the smiles were bright for one lucky class who had a student who won the #AttendanceMatters incentive for her class! A big shout out to SnoBros for partnering with PCHS and the Attendance Program to provide a free shaved ice to a group of students! Congratulations Lillian Thornquist for your excellent school attendance! Everyone loved it!

Future Focus Day #3 was a huge success with 32 staff-led sessions and over 80 business and training partners. Dragons were able to get hired in the Job Fair, plan their pathway in the Pathways Fair, or choose from numerous community service or skill-building sessions. #FutureFocus

Art students put in a full day of painting today and did an amazing job sharing their talent with the community!

The new PEKIN mural is on its way to being completed today! Art students are spending the day downtown to learn about painting large scale art.

Psych students presented their Me Boxes on Monday!

Future Focus - History and Painting This group researched the historic landmarks of Pekin and created a website. Visitors to the mural downtown will be able to access the website to learn about the landmarks depicted.
