We hope you are all excited for our first quarter Patriot Games assembly this week!

Traditionally we have only earned Patriot points throughout the year by having the most passing grades, least amount of tardies and dress codes, and most PBIS points. Then to determine the champion we did a big Patriots Games competition assembly at the end of the year.

When planning for this year, we decided that once a year Patriots Games was simply not enough to get the job done, so we are now doing one EACH quarter!

Put your seatbelts on Patriots, I have a sneaking suspicion that after our first games, the points are going to get really close, and the competition is going to get really exciting!

iXEL Standings this week for Patriot Points

1st place - 7th grade with 20 skills mastered

2nd place- 6th grade closing in fast with 15 skills mastered

3rd place- 8th grade 10 Skills mastered... Ms. Kolander and Mrs. Butler are your students going to let the 7th and 6th graders school them?

We currently have multiple students in wheelchairs here at PHJH, and in order for our kiddos to be able to get in and out of their cars, into the building on time, and make it to medical appointments, they need to have access to get into and out of the handicap spaces during drop off and pick up. When in line, if you see cars trying to get into our out of those spots, PLEASE make sure to pause and let them out, and also PLEASE do not block access for them to get into the spots.

Thank you Patriots!

The egg drop lab is one of our PHJH student favorites when it comes to labs in Science class. While the egg drop is fun and exciting, and always involves copious amounts of laughter, awwwww man's, and celebrations, there are a surprising number of concepts students learn when preparing for and conducting this lab.

The egg drop experiment teaches students about the concepts of force, motion, and energy. The basic premise of the experiment is to drop an egg from a certain height without breaking it. This requires students to use their understanding of physics to design a container or structure that will protect the egg from the forces of impact.

The experiment covers several physics concepts such as force, velocity, acceleration, and energy. It also encourages creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

October 11th and 19th Vision Screenings for all 7th graders will be conducted during school hours. Students that wear glasses or contacts should be sure to bring/wear them on the screening days. Parents/guardians that do not want their student to be screened at school must complete and turn in this opt-out form. Vision Opt-Out Form
