A floral-themed “Happy Secretary’s Day” graphic in soft pinks and purples celebrates staff at Pauls Valley Junior High. The message thanks secretaries as “unsung heroes who keep the gears turning, the paperwork flowing, and the office humming with efficiency.” A ribbon banner reads “Pauls Valley Junior High.” Three photos at the bottom show smiling office staff holding potted flowers and gifts—one at a desk, one in front of a school sign, and one seated in an office—highlighting appreciation for their work.

Thanks to a PVJH Foundation grant, our 8th grade students explored the powerful novel Refugee by Alan Gratz and brought their learning to life through creative projects that reflect courage, resilience, and hope. These pieces show not only their understanding of the refugee experience—but also their empathy and heart. We’re so proud of the meaningful work happening at PVJH and grateful for the support that makes it possible!
