Kindergarten Academy is in full swing and the little Panthers are having a great time (and so are the big Panthers helping out!)









Members of the Palmyra Missouri FFA chapter were in Washington, DC last week and had the opportunity to meet with US Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmitt at The US Capitol. Thank you to Senator Schmitt and his office for arranging this opportunity for our students.
Our FFA members were able to visit many of the sites in Washington, DC and had a great time in our Nation's Capital!








Next week is KINDERGARTEN ACADEMY week! Kindergarten students will attend from 8 am-3:15 pm!
We look forward to seeing everyone Monday morning!

Exciting times on the PHS campus! Stay tuned for more updates as we build a brighter future for our Panthers!

Middle School end of year awards for 5th and 6th grade! Proud of all our Panthers for working so hard this year!



Mrs. Brass and her HS Biology classes asked the question, how healthy is the soil on the PHS campus?
Biology students set out to determine this by taking on the "Soil Your Undies" challenge twice this school year! They tested the soil during the fall and again in the spring to see if there was a difference. This semester students "planted" a pair of new white cotton undies in the same spot on campus that they "planted" their undies in the fall and let them rest for 7 weeks.
Microbial activity is a fantastic indicator of healthy soil, and when there are microbes present, they will consume the cotton of the undies leaving nothing but a waist-band behind! The students definitely discovered that there are different levels of microbial activity on our campus, and that season certainly plays a role!
Wonder what the soil health looks like in your yard, garden, or field, we encourage you to take on the Soil Your Undies challenge at home!
