The month of September is Suicide Prevention Month. Our Sources of Strength students participated in an event outside the lunchroom where resources were given out. They reminded students that they're not alone and trusted adults are here to help!
Thank you, Jasper Fitness, for sponsoring the PJHS Tutoring Program by purchasing snacks for the students!
Important Reminder Regarding the Free & Reduced Meal Program
The carryover in benefits from last year’s Free & Reduced Meal Program will end September 13, 2024. After this date the student will return to full pay status unless a new application is submitted to re-establish the student's eligibility before the end of the carryover period.
