School Store

Literary Society: PTHS’s Reading and Writing Club

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!

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!

PTHS HOMECOMING 2016 “SURFS UP!” Our Hawaiian-themed Homecoming kicks off this year with hall decorating and our annual Powder Puff game on Sunday, September 18. The entire week contains spirit days and athletic Pack-the-Place’s, leading to our pep rally, parade, and football game on Friday, September 23. The week culminates with the “Surfs Up” Homecoming dance at 8pm on Saturday, September 24. We hope to see all students showing their school pride by participating in all of our PTHS Homecoming activities!
