PJHS Parent Weekly

Hello PJHS Families,

This past week at PJHS was a short week that ended with meeting families at parent teacher conferences. It is always appreciated to work together in a partnership for your child's future successes! We thank you for support and appreciation.

On November 11th, PJHS will be having veteran's from the American Legion come and speak to the students about Veteran's Day. We look forward to showing great gratitude and utmost appreciation for their service to our country.

Within the next few weeks, we will be honoring our athletes in sports for our 8th grade night. I wanted to remind you that PJHS is latex free, so latex balloons will NOT be allowed in the building. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Please note that we are pleased that the Miles for Smiles program will return to PJHS in March. The information regarding the program and links to sign-up are down below. If you are interested in this program, your child must have a completed permission slip.

Also, check out below our PJHS fun Holiday Spiritwear. All money raised from this fundraiser supports and goes back to the students at PJHS. Orders will close on November 16th, so don't miss out!

Furthermore, if your child needs to do picture re-takes, that date is scheduled at PJHS for November 12th. Please call the front office if you have any questions.

As always, please look carefully below at all information, so you can be updated on the latest school and community events and important dates.

We look forward to another great week ahead,

Thank you!

Please read this letter that introduces our New Therapy Dog, Penny!

All Peotone family and friends are invited to attend the Chicago Wolves game on Sunday, November 9th as we support the PIC and PJHS choirs who will be singing in the stadium right before the game begins! Choir sings at 2:45pm. Puck drops at 3:00pm.

In order to sit in the Peotone section of the stadium (right behind our choirs!) you must order your tickets online here NO LATER THAN October 20th (firm deadline!). If you have a choir member, do not purchase them a ticket because choir members receive a free ticket.

Wear red, white and blue at the game since the afternoon will include time to honor Veterans -- or wear Peotone blue!

We are pleased to inform you that the Miles for Smiles Program will be back sometime in March (exact date to be determined) to PJHS! Please look at the attached documents regarding information about the program and how to sign up. Any student that signs up will receive free dental service, but permission slips have to be completed.
