Second Season of Patriot Idol Class Act! 
 7th grader, Kristen Hoffman is the 2009 Patriot Idol.  Kristen took home the first place prize of a Wii Game System and trophy.  Congratulations to Kristen and all of this year's Patriot Idol contestants! All performers gave their best and had a great time.  Pierce teachers and staff did a fabulous job of providing entertainment while the judges counted votes. Patriot Idol is a NJHS fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Thank you to Christine Hofer, NJHS advisor who organized students and staff.  If you missed the event see links below. **UNFORTUNATELY moments before the announcement of the top 3 and the 2009 winner, a young student rushed the stage and accidentally unplugged the camera. Due to technical difficulties caused by the unforeseen circumstance,  the announcement of the top 3 and winner  was not recorded. However, the video does show each contestant, Pierce staff, and the final performance of the winner.
