Mrs. Haeberlin has been busy sharpening her skills—literally—by learning how to process hogs. 🐖 She attended the MVATA Summer Institute to learn how to process hogs in the classroom. The class was taught by Ms. Leykamp, who is an agriculture teacher at Montgomery County.
This hands-on training ensures students will get real-world experience in the classroom. Mrs. Haeberlin walked through the steps on how to process a hog, both with meat lab equipment and without. This included the break down of a carcass into primal and then retail cuts, making ground meat, sausage, and brats.
Learning never stops when you are preparing the next generation! Our teachers stay busy during the summer with unique learning opportunities like this and always preparing for the new school year!

🎭✨ Middle School Drama Boot Camp was a hit! 🎬
This week, 16 talented Panthers dove into the world of theater—learning about set design, stage makeup, and basic stage directions. Their hard work paid off in a hilarious and magical performance of “Donuts, Dragons, and the Forest of Fools” 🍩🐉🌳
Bravo to our young performers and a big thank you to Mrs. Bunten, Mrs. Courtney, Mrs. Fountain, and Ms. Reynolds, and for bringing the stage to life! 👏🎟️

We want to say how proud we are of Mr. Frankenbach, Lynton, Allie, and Laura! The PHS FBLA Broadcast Journalism team had a great year. They placed 2nd at the District 7 FBLA Leadership Conference, which led to their 2nd place finish at the Missouri State FBLA Leadership Conference, which took them to the National FBLA Leadership Conference this week. Making the top 16 teams was an amazing finish to their season 🌟!
While they didn’t advance to the Top 10 for on-stage recognition, their hard work, dedication, and professionalism shone throughout the competition. Representing our school and community on a national level is an outstanding achievement, and we could not be more proud.

We are choosing June 30 — the last official day of our school year — to recognize and thank our Superintendent, Mr. Jason Harper. 🧡🖤
Thank you for always putting students first, supporting staff, and leading our district with heart, integrity, and excellence.
Here’s to the difference you make every day — not just through your role, but through your goal to make our schools the very best they can be. 👏

PHS construction is moving right along! The kitchen and FACS room are full blown demolition zones but great progress is happening. The locker rooms are taking shape with walls, new plumbing and wiring in place.
We look forward to sharing further progress this summer and are very excited to see the finished project!

Students in Kindergarten Academy had the chance today to learn who their teacher will be when they head to PES in August! Little Panthers were given a certificate and they scratched off the gold circle to reveal the name and photo of their kindergarten teacher. If you have a kindergarten to be student in your life, ask them to tell you all about it!
📚✏️ Let the countdown to kindergarten begin - Class of 2038! 🐾🧡🖤

Our Palmyra Middle School summer school students collaborated with the students in Kindergarten Academy to create some Monster Magic! On Monday, the MS Panthers spent some time with the younger Panthers coloring a Monster Maker design sheet and then the Middle School students brought the felt monsters to life and delivered them today!
