There were also performances from a variety of AsAm organizations on campus. This was a great opportunity and experience for the PHS students.

Allyson (8th Grade): Ally is a wonderful leader in and out of the classroom. She works hard to understand the material and always helps other students. She is so encouraging to her peers, making them all feel like they can do their best.
Marley (7th Grade): Marley is one of the most thoughtful students I have ever taught. No matter who she sits next to, she is always helping. As a person, she is very selfless and is constantly thinking of what she can do to help others. I am so proud to call her my student!
Peyton (6th Grade): Peyton is an enthusiastic learner and puts forth consistent effort in all that she does. She takes responsibility for her learning and always strives to reach her full potential. She is also a kind and helpful person in class. She is always willing to help her peers and is very thoughtful in her interactions with all.
