🎄🕵️♂️ Elf Mystery Solved at Palmyra Middle School! 🧩🎯
Students at Palmyra Middle School spent the week following clues to uncover the identity of the mischievous Elf roaming the halls of the school. Along the way, students solved puzzles, scanned QR codes, and used critical-thinking skills to make educated guesses about the suspect.
Those who successfully cracked the case earned a fun reward — the chance to pie the Elf during the morning assembly! 🥧😄
A big thank you to Mr. Banta for being a great sport and taking one for the team. Learning, teamwork, and a little holiday fun made for an unforgettable week! 🎄✨

Wrestling update from Coach Huffman:
Thursday was a great night for our wrestling program! Our first home dual is in the books, and we faced some pretty tough matchups. As coaches, we obviously love to win—but even more than that, we love seeing every kid on our roster improve each time they step on the mat. That progress gets us even more excited for the season ahead!
Varsity boys went 2-1 again tonight and now sit at 4-2 on the year in duals. Our JV boys wrestled tough as well, showing a lot of grit and growth.
And huge shoutout to our mighty girls team—just three wrestlers, and they won all but one match tonight!
The girls head to Orchard Farm Friday for a tournament, and the boys will follow on Saturday for our first tournament of the season.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us tonight! 🧡🖤

Christmas Around the World in STEM! 🌍🎄
Ms. Reeder’s STEM class has been exploring how different cultures celebrate the holiday season. Students worked in groups to research traditions, foods, and fun facts from eight countries around the globe. 🌍
After gathering their information, each group colored and decorated their section of the map — coming together to create a vibrant “Christmas Around the World” bulletin board! 🎄
Such a fun way to learn geography, culture, and teamwork all in one activity! 🧡🖤 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom @ Palmyra Middle School
