The CHIEF November 2023

Unified Peers By: Brieaunna Duck

Once known as Peers in Action, Unified Peers is a club at PTHS. To me, it is one of the most rewarding, and it genuinely makes a difference in people’s lives. What does Unified Peers entail? Peer Partners spend time with our fellow students with special needs. These friendships are such good ones for high school, and really brighten up your life. This month we had our first event, Friendsgiving! We played games like Uno, Go Fish, and Find Mr. Gobbles. We had snacks made by the teachers and made coffee filter turkeys. At the moment, events like these are planned for once a month. This supportive environment really has a positive effect on others and you walk out with a bunch of new friends. I strongly encourage you to join as you go forward in high school because this environment is such a friendly and pure one.

Teacher Appreciation Week By: Vanessa Kapper

Student Council has recently sponsored Teacher Appreciation week, where members came up with ideas to give back to the hard work that teachers regularly produce for their students. Members decided to focus on food this year, with plenty of food available in the teachers’ lounge. Monday consisted of Pfaff’s donuts and Dunkin’ Coffee, Tuesday had a breakfast buffet provided by the Kitchen Staff, Wednesday had a salad bar and Italian Beef, Thursday had massages by Sharon Dial, and Friday had a barbeque lunch catered by Tom Tuley. Also, students wrote positive sticky notes for their teachers during their lunch period on Wednesday. It was definitely an eventful and giving week for our teachers. Teachers, we hope that both our Student Council and student body made this week special for you!
