Panthers Giving Back! ♻️

Our Palmyra Middle School Builders Club members spent their Saturday lending a helping hand at the Palmyra Recycle Center!

Builders Club, the middle school branch of Kiwanis, encourages students to develop leadership skills through service to others.

We are proud of these Panthers for giving their time to make a positive impact in our community! Thank you for demonstrating the importance of service and giving back! 👏

Science is FUN in 2nd Grade! 🧪🔬

Our 2nd graders have been learning all about the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases! 💧

To wrap up their unit, students got a little messy with a fun, hands-on experiment making OOBLECK! 🧪

Using just two simple ingredients, cornstarch and water, students explored how oobleck can behave like both a solid and a liquid! When squeezed or pressed, it feels like a solid, but when left alone, it flows like a liquid!

What a fun way to bring science to life through hands-on learning! 🧡🖤

🔧👩‍🔧👨‍🍳 Exploring Future Career Opportunities! 🎓

Our 8th graders in Mrs. McBride’s High School Prep class had an exciting opportunity to visit the Hannibal Career & Technical Center (HCTC) this week!

Students got a firsthand look at the variety of programs and hands-on career training opportunities available to them during their junior and senior years of high school. 🛠️

The visit also reinforced the importance of maintaining strong grades and good attendance throughout high school, as both are important factors in being accepted into HCTC.
