Last Saturday Anna Reber, Aiden Lavender, Kameron Kief, Dougie Keever, traveled to Danville High school to participate in the Illinois Music Educators Association Honor Band Performance they rehearsed with students from area schools all morning and performed an afternoon concert.
Here are pictures from students signing the Say Something Banners. By signing the banners students are pledging to say something!
Today students and teachers are talking about what it means to be a trusted adult. A trusted adult is a teacher, administrator, school support staff, coach, parent, family member, among others who a child feels comfortable going to when they hear something that doesn't feel right to them. In advisory classes, students will be filling out a card to their trusted adult, thanking them for being someone they feel they can trust to SAY SOMETHING.
Good luck to our 8th Grade Volleyball Team tonight on Tuesday, March 5th as they play in the 8th Grade 3A IESA Regional Semifinal against GCMS Middle School at John Greer Grade School located at 609 W. Main St. in Hoopeston, IL.
Today the JH Band Small Ensembles performed for the residents at Accolade Nursing Homes on Fulton and Pells. These students performed solos and ensembles that they prepared and performed for judges back in early February. We look forward to performing for the community more soon.
At PBL Schools students are taking the pledge to Say Something! When they pledge to Say Something they are promising to... 1. Look for the warning signs, signals, and threats. 2. Act immediately and take it seriously. 3. Say something to a trusted adult. When students do these things it will help create a safer, healthier school.
Congratulations to our PBL Junior High School Students of the Week for the week of February 26 - March 1. Great job, Panthers!

During advisory this week at PBL Junior High School the students are learning about Personal Digital Media Balance. Most of us use a lot of digital media in our daily lives -- even when we don't realize it! Having a balance between online and offline time is important, but healthy media balance might look different for everyone. This cool tool will help students create a personalized plan for healthy media use. Are you wondering how you can help your children at home with digital media balance? Here is a resource you can use to facilitate this conversation at home.
Here are the PBL Junior High School Students of the Week for February 5th-February 9th. Great job, Panthers!
5Essentials Parent Survey: We would like to invite you to provide feedback to assist us in driving our school improvement efforts. The survey is called the 5Essentials Survey, which will help schools and districts identify areas of strength and those in need of support. There is an optional parent survey that goes along with the teacher and student survey. PBL schools will get a report from the parent survey if the school achieves a 20% response rate. We are asking that you please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
The survey is located at: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
