75 PBL Jr High and High School Choir and Musical participants enjoyed a trip to see Shrek the Musical at the State Farm Center in Champaign last night! Thank you to the Choir Parents Booster Club for sponsoring and organizing our trip and to the PBL Education Foundation for a $2000 grant to help cover the expenses.
Providing the opportunity to experience a professional musical production inspires students to create an exciting production. It also provides the opportunity to learn about future career options in fine arts.



Yesterday, October 30th, PBL students in my Civics class had the privilege of hearing from Ford County Board Representative Tim Nuss and Illinois Senator Tom Bennett. Senator Bennett and Mr. Nuss provided invaluable insights into the workings of our county, state, and federal governments, offering students a real-world perspective on governance and civic engagement.
We’re grateful for this partnership and the opportunity to connect students with leaders who actively shape our communities and policies.
Thank you again for your time and commitment to supporting civic education at PBL.
