School Store
By Shelby Jennings
As some of you may have noticed, this year we
have the addition of our PTHS Spirit Store! Here
you can buy all of your spirit needs, including
pencils, t-shirts, temporary tattoos, and more!
There are also snacks and gum for sale,
including granola bars and fruit snacks. All of
the proceeds will go to a charity that Student
Council will vote on later on. This store will be
supervised by Mrs. Buchanan and Mrs.
Jennings, and will be open after school every
Wednesday in the commons!

Literary Society: PTHS’s
Reading and Writing Club
By Allyson Shoff
Have you ever finished reading a book and just needed
someone to talk to about it? Have you ever written a story and
wanted constructive feedback from someone? Literary Society
may be the club for you. Meeting in Mr. Christie’s room every
Wednesday during the activity period, Literary Society is one of
the only completely student run groups in the school. Facilitated
by Director Allyson Shoff, Literary Society aims to improve
writing skills and have a good time reading together.
Our goals are to read at a moderate pace and have different
writing prompts for people to complete every week. On
Wednesdays, other members will read the writing each person
has done, giving helpful suggestions and commenting on what
they enjoyed.
We understand that some people can’t make it to every meeting,
so we keep a well organized Google Drive folder that is shared
with all of the members and have an organized Skype group that
is used to catch people up or to just chat.
Does this sound like fun to you? We’d love to expand our
group, so please drop by on the next Wednesday in Mr.
Christie’s room to sign up!
