Over the weekend, Coach Harper, Coach Reeder, and our Palmyra Middle School Science Olympiad team traveled to Warrensburg to compete in the State Tournament! 🧪🔬
Competing against 32 of the top middle school teams in Missouri, our Panthers took part in both testing and building events on the campus of the University of Central Missouri. It was an incredible opportunity and experience for our students!

We are proud of the effort and growth our students demonstrated—way to represent Palmyra so well! 🐾
Great job, Panthers! 🧡🖤

Palmyra Middle School science students put their observation skills to work during a scavenger hunt for different Missouri spiders and their webs! 🕷️🔎
Students explored, searched, and learned more about the amazing spiders that call Missouri home while taking a closer look at the unique webs they create. It was a fun hands-on way to combine science, discovery, and a little outdoor adventure!

Our 4th grade PACE students teamed up with Mrs. Barnes’ kindergarten class for a special time of games and connection. The PACE students created a game focusing on beginner math concepts, sight words, and social-emotional skills—then led the activities themselves!
Kindergarten students rotated through 7 different games, learning and having fun every step of the way. It was a great opportunity for our older Panthers to lead and our youngest Panthers to grow! 🐾
We are also proud to share a moment from a recent Board of Education meeting, where Aubree, one of our high school PACE students joined Mrs. Gard to discuss the impact of the PACE program and the opportunities it provides for students across grade levels.

PHS Mythology students got creative while studying a classic legend! 🐰✨
As part of their lesson on the legend of the Easter Bunny, students designed and built their own “Peep houses”—bringing a little mythology and a lot of imagination to life. 🏠🍬
The creations were almost too cute to eat (almost 😄). It was a great way to combine storytelling, creativity, and hands-on fun in the classroom!

Our Palmyra Middle School track Panthers had a BIG week on the track, with another record broken and lots of personal bests! 🧡🖤
Panthers kicked things off at Hannibal on Saturday, hit the road to Louisiana on Monday, and wrapped up their busy stretch Tuesday at Clark County. The 7th grade boys and 8th grade girls picked up the team win on Saturday at Hannibal! The girls had another strong team win at Louisiana with the boys capturing 2nd place, falling by just 3 points. They wrapped up competition at Clark with girls taking 2nd and boys team placing 3rd. 💪🏃♂️🏃♀️
After a strong week of competition, they have definitely earned some well-deserved rest! 👏
Mark your calendars and come support these hardworking Panthers at their next meets:
📍 4/23 Highland Relays
🏟️ 4/29 at HOME (their only home meet!)
Come out and cheer them on! 🐾

Now, let’s spotlight one of the amazing Kindergarten educators - Mrs. Barnes!
✨ 18 years in education
🍎 Favorite Thing About Teaching Kindergarten:
My favorite thing about teaching kindergarten is watching the incredible growth that happens in just one year. Students come in learning the basics, and by the end of the year they’re reading, writing, and solving problems with confidence. I love helping them build that strong foundation while also fostering a love for school and learning.
📚 Favorite Children’s Book/Author:
One of my favorite children’s books is The Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith. I love this book because it brings so much joy and laughter into the classroom. Most importantly, it creates a shared, fun experience.
🎉 Fun Fact:
I grew up a very competitive, dedicated, and loyal Monroe City Panther and I can now say I am a very proud Palmyra Panther! Watching my two children be part of this school has made that pride even deeper, and you’ll often find me on the sidelines cheering them on—along with every single Palmyra Panther.
❤️ What Families Can Expect in Kindergarten:
Families can expect a year full of growth, learning, and fun! Students will work on building foundational skills in reading, writing, and math, while also learning how to be independent, kind, and responsible in the classroom. There will be lots of hands-on activities, opportunities to celebrate student growth along the way. I look forward to meeting all incoming Kindergarten students and families!
Thank you, Mrs. Barnes, for filling your classroom with kindness, encouragement, and joy—making it a place where every little Panther feels right at home! 🧡🖤
