Holiday carols are filling the music room in preparation for the Winter Concert!




Too cute not to share. This young lady made a heart word book so she can practice with her friends. This morning these girls were practicing their heart words in the gym before class. Way to go girls!


Celebrating kindness with the PCHS Volleyball Team.










Outstanding work by 8th grader Lydia in Mr. Curry's Art class. They are working on 1 point perspective from a bird's eye view.

We celebrated kindness today. Every student caught doing an act of kindness, received a heart that went into a drawing. We drew two kindness hearts per grade level today. The high school cheerleaders even did a cheer for each student drawn.


Check out these super smart Mathfact masters! They knew all of our special math facts quickly. Way to go kiddos!

Mr. Heuser and his VIP welcomed Pumas with treats and a sign to tell what they are thankful for. Thankful to be a Puma!!




If you missed the play last night at PCHS, make sure you come out tonight at 7 or tomorrow night at 7 to see this wonderful performance!

Great way Mrs. Ibarra got to know her story students at the beginning of the year with 4-5 things that they like and I stop by and read 1 or 2 when I'm in that hallway.

Our music classes really enjoyed going to Chicago yesterday!



We had a great time with singer/songwriter, Jim Gill! We were glad to see all of our families join us for such a fun night!




Congratulations to the 7th Grade Lady Pumas on their Regional Championship. Congratulations to Anni Judd who received the IESA Sportsmanship award for our team.
