Color Magic Measuring Lab! 🌈🧪
Students got hands-on practice with measuring liquids using graduated cylinders, following precise directions, and using the metric system during their Color Magic Measuring Lab.
Starting with red, yellow, and blue liquids, students carefully measured and combined different amounts to create new colors in their test tubes. ❤️💛💙➡️🧡💚💜
The lab gave students the opportunity to practice measurement, observation, precision, lab safety, and following procedures—all while having a little fun with science!
Way to measure carefully, follow directions, and make some science magic, Panthers! 🐾🧪🌈

A day in the life of a Palmyra Middle Schooler! It is a wild mix of art, energy, music, education, and a little healthy competition.
Art, diving into Van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers and experimenting with bold color, technique and texture. 🎨
PE, taking it back to the classic favorite, kickball. ⚽
Band, receiving brand-new instruments—the excitement (and initial sounds) is unmatched. 🎷
Playing interactive review games to master math skills and working as a group. ✖️
Science, building decomposition jars to see real-world ecosystems in action, exploring how energy is never created or destroyed—it just changes form. 🔬

History Comes to Life in the Classroom! 🇺🇸📚
American History students are getting a hands-on opportunity to investigate the Civil War through the American Battlefield Trust’s Civil War Traveling Trunk program!
Mr. Wellman applied to become a classroom trunk host, and was chosen to receive the traveling trunk! This week, our Panthers are getting to explore the artifacts and learn more about the Civil War through a unique, interactive experience.
What a great way to bring history out of the textbook and into the hands of our students! 🧡🖤

Our Panthers are learning, collaborating, and putting their skills to work! 🐾📚
➗ Ms. Morris’ 7th Grade Pre-Algebra students worked through stations practicing the order of operations and used their answers to complete a fun Math Lib activity! 🧮✏️
🔬 Mrs. DeMoss’ Science Class took part in a mini lab called “Elbow Room.” Students worked together to see just how difficult it can be to complete a puzzle when 2, 4, or 6 people are sharing a 1-meter square! 🧩
This hands-on activity helped students explore how living things need different resources—including space—to survive and thrive. 🌱🔬
We love seeing our Panthers learning through hands-on experiences and teamwork! 🧡🖤

Our PES Panthers had a special visit today from Joe Fingerhut, who showed our students how to turn an “I can’t” mindset into a “How can I?” growth mindset! 💭✨
Through humor, magic, juggling, and even a unicycle (with a little help from Nurse Morgan 😄), Mr. Joe encouraged our Panthers to believe in themselves and recognize that they are capable of amazing things when they put their minds to it. 🎩🤹♂️🚲🌟
What a fun and memorable way to remind our Panthers that challenges are opportunities to learn, grow, and say, “How can I?” 💪🐾
Thank you, Mr. Joe, for inspiring our students to dream big and believe in what they can accomplish! 🧡🖤
