We had a Puma, Karson, who had an accident with a chainsaw and missed several days of school. He is recovering nicely and when he returned, our students and staff made cards for him. We are glad Karson is recovering and able to return to PCJH and proud of the character and caring of our Pumas. (Posted with parent permission).
