📚🐾 This morning, Coach Hutchings and two Panther football players swapped the playbook for storybooks! 🏈 They visited three kindergarten classrooms to read books with our youngest Panthers and to get pumped up for game-day!

Building readers, leaders, and Panther pride — both on and off the field! 🏈📖

Meanwhile, football players, cheerleaders, and pom squad brought major energy at morning arrival — giving high fives and big Panther pride to kick off the school day and our first home game! 🧡🖤

It was a great morning seeing PHS athletes giving back at PES! Once a Panther, always a Panther! 🐾

🏀✨ A piece of Panther history, can be yours to keep! ✨🏀

As part of our renovation project, the Palmyra High School gym floor is being removed — and we would love for our community to have a piece of it!

🪵 Floor pieces will be available in front of the Palmyra High School gym entrance on Tuesday, September 2nd and Wednesday, September 3rd from 5:30 – 6:30 pm (while supplies last). Because of the way the floor was constructed, most pieces will be individual boards rather than large sections.

Take home a slice of Panther history and relive the games, cheers, and memories made on this court. 🧡🖤

(Please bring gloves — not responsible for accidents or splinters.)
