A report was made this morning to the Pendleton High School administration about a possible threat posted on social media to harm students at the school today.  Law enforcement was contacted immediately, and with the help of the school administration, the student in question was contacted without incident.  At no time were students at PHS unsafe or in any danger from this incident.  “We want to thank the student who came forward to make the report and the Pendleton Police Department for their quick response and continued support to keep our students safe.”

PHS Recognizes Their Counselors

/in , /by

Karen Demianew, Maddy Stuvland and Ron Murphy serve as advocates, mentors, coaches, cheerleaders, and teachers, and they are truly the glue that holds so many aspects of our schools together. As we recognize their hard work and dedication this week, we want to express our appreciation and gratitude to each of our amazing school counselors. We know students cannot learn unless their social and emotional needs are being tended to, and our school counselors are there to remove barriers and help students to navigate challenges. We are so lucky here at Pendleton High School to be surrounded by such a talented and creative group of school counselors.

National School Counseling Week 2023 (Feb. 6-10), sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Every student deserves a school counselor to help with academic achievement strategies, managing emotions and applying interpersonal skills, and planning for postsecondary options. School counselors are #HelpingStudentsDreamBig. Take a moment to thank your local school counselor(s).

This morning across the street from McKay Elementary School a power pole “transformer” blew and set off the fire alarms at the school.  Students were safely evacuated and the fire department was dispatched.  The building was checked inside and out by the fire department and once deemed safe, students were allowed back into the school and will continue with classes.

 

Pendleton High School Holiday Season Wrap-Up

/in , /by

PHS students found several ways to give back to their community during the recent holiday season.

Last month, an annual tradition they completed was PHS Adopt-a-Child, where PHS teams/groups/staff “adopt” a child to provide holiday gifts through Salvation Army in Pendleton. In December, PHS adopted 45 children, an “outstanding effort by our students and staff,” said Stu Clem, PHS Leadership Advisor.

Also, during the holiday season, all district schools — elementary, middle, and high — participated in the Canned Food Drive, with students collecting hundreds of non-perishable food items for local families.

Finally, PHS Leadership hosted their annual Little Bucks Day on December 15th. The purpose of this half-day event is to give back to the Pendleton community and provide a fun day with various activities for some Little Bucks, pre-elementary children, with Big Bucks (PHS students) as role models. The Little Bucks are children of PHS staff members and friends.

There were 20 participants in Little Bucks Day this year. According to Advisor Clem, “We have had about ten former Big Bucks in our leadership class bring their own Little Bucks to this event the last three to five years.” Clem thanked PHS student Grace Pitner, who he said was an amazing chairperson of the Little Bucks committee. “It was the best Little Bucks Day we have had!” Clem said.
