Yesterday, we had a chance to partner with "Girls Who Lead", a program at Prairie Ridge that is focused on empowering women to be strong leaders!
In the morning, ten 5th grade girls, selected by teachers, participated in a leadership workshop here at PGJH. The morning was complete with games, activities, and a chance to define what leaders think, say, act, and are.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Master and Ms. Cotton took the entire group of 8th grade girls to Prairie Ridge for an opportunity to participate in a leadership workshop focused on respect, lifting each other up, integrity, and empowerment. In addition, they had a chance to see where they will be at next year and connect with other students that they will learn and grow with!
We are so grateful to PR's Women Who Lead program for this amazing opportunity. We can't wait for next year!

8th grade FACS wrapped up their food truck unit with a visit from a local food truck - Brothers' BBQ!
Students had the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with the owner, learn about the behind-the-scenes of running a food truck business, and tour the truck to see how everything operates in a small kitchen space. To top it off, each student even took home a bottle of Brothers' BBQ sauce.
Thank you to Brothers' BBQ for taking the time to share your experience and give our students a real-world look at the food industry!

7th grade FACS students learned about the power of food marketing. After exploring how packaging and wording influence consumers, students challenged themselves to rebrand a popular junk food to make it sound healthy. A fun way to practice critical thinking about the messages we see on food labels every day!
Congratulations to our 7th grade Girls Basketball Team on finishing 2nd place in the MNC Conference tournament! What a great season, Congrats!
