🥎 SATURDAY = TOURNAMENT TIME! 💙🤍

After cheering on our Midgets under the Friday night lights, it’s time to turn our attention to the diamond and cheer on our Putnam County Lady Midgets!

The Lady Midgets head to Schuyler County Saturday for the 2026 Schuyler Cohagan Classic Softball Tournament, and their first matchup is set:

🥎 Putnam County vs. Canton
⏰ 10:30 AM
📍 Schuyler County Baseball Field

From there, game times and locations will depend on tournament results, so check out the bracket and follow along throughout the day.

Bring the blue, bring the noise, and let’s pack the sidelines for our Lady Midgets! 💙🤍

Good luck, ladies! Play hard, have fun, and leave it all on the dirt! 🥎🔥

In honor of National Smile Day, we turned a couple of our PCHS ECHO Yearbook staffers loose on campus with a microphone and one simple question:

“What made you smile today—or this week?” 🎤😁

From our littlest learners to high school students and staff, the answers were all over the place—in the best way. ☀️🍪

Sunshine. Brain breaks. Family. Playing outside with friends. Teachers. The Stunt Dudes. Cookies. And, of course… FRIDAY! 🙌

Turns out, it doesn’t always take something big to make a good day.

Our ECHO staff is working on more than taking pictures this year. They’re learning to interview, tell stories, step outside their comfort zones, and capture the people and little moments that make Putnam County, Putnam County. 💙📸

So now we’re asking you: What made YOU smile this week? Drop it in the comments. 👇😁

🍂 Fall is in full swing!
🎃 To celebrate the fall season and the start of October, Miss Bushnell’s class started their day with a special guest in their classroom, a grinning pumpkin!
They carved small pumpkins, collected the seeds, counted them, and used their pumpkin seeds to practice place value! Then, for a fun science exploration, they made their little pumpkins ERUPT using baking soda and vinegar! 🌋🎃
It was such a fun way to welcome fall while practicing math skills, making scientific observations, taking turns, working together, and most importantly, just having some fun in first grade! 🍁🧡

🍎 An apple a day… and a great community partner makes it even sweeter! 🍎

A big THANK YOU to our local Hy-Vee for generously donating an entire case of fresh apples for our PC staff! ❤️💚

The apples are part of our Fruit & Veggies Fridays and Mindful Mondays, encouraging our staff to pause, recharge, and make healthy choices throughout the school week. Apples are available in each staff room and will be restocked until they’re all gone. 🍎

We also want to give a special shout-out to Mrs. Angela Smith for coordinating this staff health challenge and helping bring these wellness opportunities to our PC team. Thank you, Angela, for taking care of the people who spend every day taking care of our students! 💙🤍

And thank you again to Hy-Vee for investing in the health and well-being of our school family. We appreciate having local businesses that are always willing to support our schools and our people!

Healthy staff. Stronger schools. Brighter tomorrows. 🍎💙

☀️ SUNSHINE, SMILES & FRIDAY VIBES! 😎💙

Mrs. Foster brought a little extra sunshine to PC this morning! ☀️ She greeted students with high-fives, smiles, and plenty of Friday cheer as they headed inside for the final school day of the week.

Sometimes it’s the simplest moments—a warm welcome, a high-five, and someone who’s genuinely happy to see you—that help start the day on a bright note. 💙🤍

Happy Friday, PC! We hope your weekend is just as bright! ☀️😎
