These students gave up the first day of their spring break with a 5:30 am leave time and it ended with a tie for team sweeps champs with Thayer Central.

The Speech Team is heading to Thayer Central for their last meet before districts! The session will start at 8:30.

The 8th and 9th grade ag classes took a field trip to Kimmel Orchard, where Agventure Day was hosted by UNL pre service ag teachers. Students learned about soil, bees, and entrepreneurship while creating their own candles, ribboning soil, and competing in an entrepreneurship pitch contest!

Join us this Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm for our Sunday Speech Showcase at Old Guys Brew. Snacks provided and drinks available for purchase.

Come see what these talented students have been up to with their final showing before their district meet. We'll make you laugh, make you cry, and make you proud to be from PC.

Please enter the coffee shop door, as performances and seating will be in the south room. Feel free to come and go in between speeches, and stay for as little or as long as you'd like.

Bright sunshine and even brighter smiles! The Kindness Crew spent part of their day sharing handwritten notes with staff, spreading kindness, positivity and a little extra joy around the building!

JH Wrestling is heading to Nebraska City High School for an Invite. The matches will start at 4:00PM today.

One regular-season meet left at Thayer Central this Friday, and then it’s the public showcase on Sunday, before the D1-1 District meet next Monday at Raymond Central.

Please show your support to these hardworking PC students by joining us at our Public Performance one week from today. Sunday, March 15th at 2:00 pm at Old Guys Brew at 625 G Street in Pawnee City. Stay tuned for more info.

It was a whirlwind two days for the PC speech team. First, they competed at Elkhorn North on Friday evening, then bright and early again at Plattsmouth on Saturday. Both days were filled with talented competition, focused individual improvements, and team bonding.

Highlights included much-anticipated finals breaks for Emily and Abby, some incredible individual finishes, and watching our freshman OID continue to improve and move toward their goal of breaking into finals.

At Elkhorn, the team placed 3rd, and at Plattsmouth, they were 6th in an impressive field.

Saturday's Plattsmouth awards ended with a special surprise: two PC students were awarded in the Individual Sweepstakes awards (most individual points scored). With all three of their events breaking into finals, Tyler was third place in the individual points field, and Cael was runner-up. This is a first-time finish for any PC speakers, and if you saw how hard these seniors and their teammates have worked finding time to practice their different events between all their other commitments, you wouldn’t be surprised.

Thank you to the boosters for providing hotel accommodations, to our parents and community members who came up to watch rounds, to Tammy Hartman for always feeding us so well at every meet, and to Shannon and JW Vlcek for your tireless support and for hauling our large collection of gear all over this weekend.

Next up, some of the team travels to Weeping Water tomorrow. But for now, we rest and wait on the snow.
