The Palmyra High School Key Club is putting a special twist on trick-or-treating this Halloween season! 🍬🐾
Instead of collecting candy, our PHS Key Club members will be collecting donations for UNICEF to help make a difference in the lives of children around the world! 🌎❤️
📅 Saturday, October 24th
⏰ Beginning at 4:00 PM
🏡 Going door-to-door in our community
💰 Have your spare change ready and help our Panthers turn small donations into a BIG impact!
Give your change to make a change—NO TRICKS ATTACHED! 🎃✨
Thank you for supporting our PHS Key Club members as they give back and make a difference! 🧡🖤

Mrs. Wilson’s class enjoyed a fun-filled day at the pumpkin patch, making memories and enjoying some fall festivities! 🎃🍁
To wrap up their fire safety unit, the students also welcomed a special guest, Chief Wilson! 🚒👨🚒 He visited the classroom to talk about fire safety, the important role of firefighters, and how to stay safe in an emergency.
A big thank you to Chief Wilson for taking the time to share his knowledge with our young Panthers! 🧡🖤🐾

Panthers in Ms. Reeder's class explored heat transfer through a variety of hands-on Science stations!
Students learned about conduction, convection and radiation as they rotated through activities around the room. They created and sorted magazine-picture collages, worked together to expand their understanding of heat transfer, and even participated in a hands-on station where they got to make S’MORES! 🍫🔥
Needless to say, the scientists had a great time learning—and they have already asked if they can make S’MORES again! 😂
Science is always better when you can learn by doing! 🔬✨

A great team effort and a well-played game from start to finish! Way to fight, Panthers! 🧡🖤

Thank you to our PHS students for being great role models and helping make our school community stronger! 🐾📚.
Today is a great opportunity to recognize the people who work hard each day to help keep our schools running smoothly!
Our custodial teams do so much more than keep our buildings clean. From early mornings to late nights, they help prepare our schools for each day, take care of the unexpected, and make sure our students and staff have a place they can be proud to call their school. 💪🏫
Palmyra High School: Dave and Jenny
Palmyra Middle School: Tena and Robyn
Palmyra Elementary: Jim, Ashley, and Emily
We are incredibly thankful for the hard work, dependability, and care each of you bring to our Panther family. Your work may often happen behind the scenes, but the difference you make is seen and appreciated every day!
Please join us in giving a BIG THANK YOU to our amazing custodial teams! 🧹👏✨

Students explored artifact replicas and learned more about what the items were, how they were used, and what they can tell us about life during the expedition. They even got to try their hand at writing with a quill and ink, just like people did in the early 1800s! ✒️📜

Mrs. Frankenbach’s science class put their creativity and measurement skills to the test by making their own hodometers! Panthers then took their creations around the school and outside on the football field to measure different distances and see just how accurate their homemade devices were.
A fun, hands-on way to put science and math into action! 🔬

Our young Panthers at Panther Cub Childcare had a special visit from Mrs. Wishy Washy aka Starla Dunn with the Marion County Health Department! 🧼👐
Starla shared a fun and engaging presentation all about good hygiene and the importance of proper handwashing. Our little Panthers had a great time learning how keeping those hands clean helps keep everyone healthy! 🫧😊
A big thank-you to Starla and the Marion County Health Department for spending time with our Panther Cubs! 🐾
