Ms. Kroeger’s class enjoyed a surprise show and tell when her brother, Jacob— a pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization—stopped by to visit, answer questions, and share about baseball before heading to spring training in Florida.
To top it off, each student received a signed baseball and sent Mr. Jacob off with plenty of cheers and good-luck wishes for a winning season ahead. 👏✨

Our Integrated Science students and Mrs. Brass set out to answer these questions as they explored the concept of density through hands-on investigation and discovery. From testing snow samples to observing floating marker art, Panthers put science into action while building curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world connections. 🧠💧

Students in Ms. Emmite's science class built stream tables to study how weather shapes the earth. Using sand, water, and simulated natural disasters (earthquakes, high winds, raging waters) Panthers observed how weather changes the environment over time. 🌬️🌿
Hands on science, learning by doing! 💡👏

#PantherPrideInTheClassroom @ Palmyra Middle School
Students explored how plants reproduce and how seeds spread in different ways 🌬️🌿 Through hands-on learning and a Samara Leaf Challenge (helicopter seeds to us non-scientists 😄), Panthers put engineering, creativity, and critical thinking to the test. After developing their blueprint, students used provided materials to replicate a Samara Leaf and tested their creations by measuring how long they took to fall to the ground and how far they traveled from the base.
Science is not just something you read about… it is something you do! 💡👏
