So, just what IS a "Panther PAWSitive", you ask?
They are positive student referrals written by the staff at PHS! Each month, staff members can submit Panther PAWSitive referrals to Mrs. Deacon at any time, to acknowledge any student whom they feel has set an example or demonstrated improvement in the development of PAWSitive social-emotional skills. Every referral is then displayed on a new mural space to share with our PHS family!
The following students were referred by a staff member during the second marking period,
so THANK YOU for your efforts towards becoming a positive role model at PHS and spreading Panther PAWSitivity!
Gabriel Stowe, grade 9:
"Gabe is a wonderful student! He always interacts with teachers, asks questions when he needs to, and gives thoughtful answers during discussion. I'm also seeing that Gabe is a wonderful person too! Each day, he greets us when he arrives, and bids us farewell by telling us to have a great day. In a chaotic world, Gabe remains calm, cool, and collected, and that my friend, is impressive ; )"
~Referred by Mrs. Morrone
Eleanor Ely, grade 9:
"Ellie has gone above and beyond in math class to kick off her freshman year. She preservers through the hardest problems, takes her time and checks her work, and asks questions when unsure. I am so proud of the example she is setting for her classmates!"
~Mrs. Contravo
Thomas O'Neill, grade 9:
"Thomas has shown what it really means to be a team player in World History. A quiet, selfless act of generosity towards his peers did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Thomas!"
~Referred by Mr. Cooke & Mrs. Crowley
Cade Gilbert, grade 12:
"I have taught Cade since he was a freshman. This year I have watched him "rise to the occasion" more than once. In preparing our digital winter concert, Cade has been extremely helpful with editing music and has volunteered to help way beyond what has been required of him. I am so thankful to have his enthusiasm and expertise in the PHS Music Department, and am so proud of his growth over the last four years!"
Emma Rentzel, grade 12
Grace Mazzola, grade 12
Paige Miller, grade 11
Emily Otvos, grade 11
Ian O'Boyle, grade 11
"This year's Tri-M students are going above and beyond the expectations of the organization.
They are passionate about serving their school and community through music, and have brainstormed ways to do so...even in the midst of a pandemic! These five students care so deeply about their fellow student musicians and even about those in other buildings within our district. I am impressed at each and every meeting with their level of effort, dedication, and commitment to PHS Music. They are exemplifying the phrase
"do what you love, love what you do". I am so proud of them!"
~Referred by Mrs. Mickle
Jaden Fearon, grade 10
"Jaden has put forth a great amount of effort this marking period in math class. His grades have soared as a direct correlation to the time he is putting in while working in class and at home. Keep it up!"
~Referred by Mrs. Contravo
Angelique Morton, grade 11
"I am very proud of Angel and her participation in class over the past few weeks.
She works hard to grasp the material in class and asks questions when unsure. She is setting a great example for her classmates. Keep up the awesome work!"
