The PBL JH LEGO League Team is currently practicing twice a week to get ready for their December 2024 competition. LEGO League is a collaborative group of students who love applying their skills in a fun competition. Working together as a team, they tackle a series of challenges that involve both design and programming. This year's theme, Submerged, takes us underwater to explore the ocean's depths. Get a glimpse of what's in store for this season's adventure by watching the season trailer at the following link: https://youtu.be/4JV7x014U0I?si=hUiwWTublT6OBmj7. On Thursday, November 21st from 5:30-6:30pm our LEGO League Team will host an open house to showcase their work.

7th & 8th grade band students performed with the High School Panther Regiment on Friday, September 13th, during the pre-game of the home football game. After the pre-game performance, the band students remained until halftime to play alongside the Panther Regiment in the stands.





The PBL Junior High Student Council held its first meeting on Tuesday, September 17th, with officers and advisory representatives during lunch and lunch recess in the art room. The Student Council at the junior high is very active in fostering a fun and engaging environment for both students and staff.


Today Ford County students will be reflecting on their attendance in the first 5 weeks of school. Students will be tracking how many days they have been present versus how many days they have been absent. At this point in the school year, missing more than three days in the first 5 weeks of school puts a student on track to being chronically absent. When your child returns home from school today, ask them about their attendance. #bepresentbepowerful

JH students who choose to participate in the 9th Annual Edible Books Festival are tasked with creating a representation of a book out of food. This could look like a book cover recreation, a pun or play on words in a book title, or creating a character, specific item, or concept in a book. The creations are typically made out of cake, but can be made with any food. Students are able to work individually or in a team of 2 with another PBL junior high student. Student creations must be school appropriate. This competition will take place on Tuesday, September 24th at the Book Fair Family Night. Students who want to participate should bring their creations to the library no later than 5:15 PM. Voting will take place from 5:30 to 6:00 PM, and winners will be announced at 6:15 PM. Anyone who is at the book fair during the voting window will be able to vote for their favorite creation.
