The Wolves Weekly Update - 9/7-10
September 5th, 2026
Learning About Service & Careers
Our Kindergarten students welcomed two special visitors from the Army National Guard, including Mrs. Picone’s daughter, Sonny, who recently joined the Guard. Sergeant Fielding shared some of the many jobs available in the National Guard—from driving large equipment to helping people during emergencies—and asked our youngest Wolves what they want to be when they grow up. Experiences like this introduce students to possibilities and help them begin imagining their own futures.
Learning Together
Our Ag students worked together on a group project, putting collaboration, communication, problem-solving, and shared decision-making into practice. These are skills that matter in the classroom today and in whatever paths our students choose tomorrow.
Exploring Future Possibilities
One high school student used his study hall to research careers that interest him, including becoming a sheriff’s deputy. Helping students connect what they are doing today with where they might want to go tomorrow is an important part of preparing them to thrive beyond Pleasant Hill.
Building Belonging Across Grade Levels
Our sixth graders spent time playing with our Pre-K students. For our youngest Wolves, it was a chance to connect with some of the “big kids.” For our sixth graders, it was an opportunity to lead, include, and care for younger members of their school community. These relationships help make Pleasant Hill feel like one school and one Wolf Pack.
Community Support Helps Our Students Thrive
Our FFA chapter received a $1,000 donation from Heritage Tractor as part of its Traveling Tractor program! Heritage Tractor selected Pleasant Hill FFA from among the schools in its service area to receive this donation. We are grateful for community partners who recognize the value of agricultural education and choose to invest in opportunities for our students. Thank you, Heritage Tractor, for supporting our Wolves and helping our students thrive!
