To prepare for IAR testing, Mrs. Walwer’s 4th grade classes participated in a March Madness themed activity. They practiced a variety of reading skills while trying to earn points for their team. Teams also had to outscore their opponents in the tournament bracket to advance by shooting baskets. Each of her 2 classes had an overall champion (winner of the bracket) and MVP (most points scored on reading questions).
Congratulations to our 3rd Quarter Honor Roll students!
We are looking to add to our team for the 2024-2025 school year.

The Panther Partners organization recently made holiday cards celebrating St. Patrick's day. On Friday, Panther Partners members visited Accolade Healthcare of Paxton Senior Living to hand deliver to the residents. High School mentors and their Junior High and Clara Pete mentees also helped in the process of making cards.
To help Mrs. Waugh's class prepare for IAR testing, Mrs. Steiner's class brought some lucky pennies and recited a poem for her class.
The younger grades have been providing encouragement to the older grades for the IAR test this week. Mrs. Kinzinger’s first graders made posters, signs, and notes for Mrs. Walwer's fourth graders. It was so fun!
1st graders at Clara Pete have been learning about animals. They learned about habitats, food, life cycle, and how animals communicate. One animal they closely studied was chickens. They incubated eggs, watched them hatch, and took care of them.
Thank you to Clara Pete PIT Crew for donating a new incubator. 23 chicks were hatched which is a new record for them!
On Wednesday the 6th our Clara Peterson students had the chance to experience a laser light show hosted by Prismatic Magic. They learned about how lasers work and how they can do cool things!
On our last day of Say Something Week on Friday Clara Peterson students were joined during lunch hours by two adults from our community who are considered trusted adults that we can go to when we need help. Officer Brandon Ryan and Paramedic Andy Jones spent time talking with students about their jobs and how they can help students! They also had the opportunity to pass out the good news notes for the week to students who showed exceptional behavior this week. Thank you Mr. Jones and Officer Ryan for all you do for our kids and our community!
School Social Work Week occurs during the first full week of March annually to honor and acknowledge school social workers nationwide for their contributions in supporting students to excel academically.

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.

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.
During March 4th - March 8th the PBL schools will be participating in Say Something Week alongside thousands of other schools across the country. Students and staff will participate in a week of activities that will raise awareness about how to create a safer, healthier school, and build a culture where students and staff lookout for each other. We will be focusing on how to build a community of upstanders, and how to acknowledge the trusted adults in our school. Stay tuned for more activities at each school throughout the week!
