📢 Special Day at PJHS!
Today, we welcomed AnnaBeth Townsend as our guest speaker, along with special guests from the Randolph County Sheriff's Office, Slade Weisenbach and Brian Alexander, and our very own Michael Elledge from the Pocahontas Police Department/PJHS SRO.
Ms. Townsend spoke to our students about the dangers of tobacco, vapes, stimulants, depressants, and more—while also sharing healthy coping skills. Our guests took time to answer thoughtful questions from the students, making it an informative and engaging session.
👏 Shout out to our PJHS students for being so respectful and welcoming—way to represent our school with pride!
🗣️ LINK Project Prevent would like to thank all our guests for sharing this important information.

WEEK TWO: Cooperation Across Lines
The minute we are in a group— or team, or club, or organization— we encounter people who bring with them different backgrounds, experiences, customs, and methods of communication. This can be tricky, whether we are in 6th grade or nearing retirement. This
week we focus on how we work with people who are different and how we can learn about others while cooperating.
PJHS wants to help make sure as many students as possible are represented in this year's yearbook. Please attach pictures of your PJHS student attending after school events to this post. We are looking for football, volleyball, basketball, cheer, softball, baseball, track pictures as well as any other school events you would like to share! alysa.fenner@pocahontaspsd.com (if you would rather send your picture to an email)
WEEK ONE:
What is cooperation? Cooperation is the goal of one of the most hated parts of the middle and high school experience: group projects. But the lessons learned there should apply to so many other facets of life: athletic teams, coworker relationships, family dynamics. This week,
we will focus on the role(s) we play in a team or group and how we can step up to be a leader in a group while still being cooperative.
Track Practice for today, March 4, 2025 , has been cancelled. The Softball Game at Walnut Ridge today has been rescheduled for April 4, 2025. The Baseball Game at Salem has been cancelled with no reschedule date currently.
Tomorrow morning is the last chance to buy tickets for the dance!
Don't forget that the dance is this Friday!
Only $5! Tickets can be purchased before school and at lunch this week. No tickets will be sold at the door.
