Eighth-grade science students in Ms. Manley's class explored the periodic table in an engaging way: by spelling their names with the elements! The resulting display on the wall showcased a unique and enjoyable learning experience.
The PBL Junior High School Student Council raised over $2,000 for COTA for Warrior Jax. At each home sporting event, the student council sold popcorn at the concession stand and the proceeds went towards COTA for Warrior Jax. We are so incredibly proud of our student council and their efforts towards this great cause! Great job, Panthers!

The Ford County Attendance Initiative would like to give some tips to help students get to school as much as possible and limit our chronic absenteeism! Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before school. Establish a bedtime and morning routine. Plan trips and appointments outside of school hours if possible. Minimize screen time before bedtime to help achieve restful sleep. Ask school staff to help if your child is having anxiety about school. Have a back up plan to get to school if something comes up. Let's work together to help better student attendance at our schools. Be Present, Be Powerful!
Congratulations to our PBL Junior High School Students of the Week for the week of February 3rd - February 7th.
Get ready! Our 8th Grade Career Fair is tomorrow, February 11th. We'll start the day with motivational speaker and retired firefighter Phil Edwards. Students will then have the opportunity to learn about various careers in roundtable sessions with over 30 community members. In the afternoon, high school students will share information about programs like ECCA/Parkland, CEO, and ICE Work Study. A big thank you to the PBL Education Foundation and Paxton Masonic Lodge for sponsoring this event!
This week was National School Counseling Week, which highlights the unique contributions of school counselors across the country. They help students achieve school success and plan for the future. A big thank you to Mrs. Johnson, Kristin Oyer, and Lisa Niewold for all they do to support students, staff, and families in our schools and district.
The 8th Grade Parent Night scheduled for tonight, February 5th, at 5:30pm in the Commons Area has been canceled due to the winter weather advisory tonight. PBL High School will reschedule the event in the coming weeks and we will communicate the date and time here soon.
💙💛 PBL Junior High would like to recognize long time officials DeDe Yenerich and Deanne Trumble. We've been so very fortunate to have them officiate volleyball matches over the years. Tonight is their last night at PBL Jr High! Best wishes on your retirement ladies! You've served the sport well.
