✨ The Palmyra Middle School Maker Club kicked off the year with a great September meeting! Maker Club is an after-school opportunity for grades 5–8 where students can make, learn, create, explore, and share. ✨

Students had the chance to let their imaginations run wild during Exploratory Month, creating with cardboard and the chomp saw, Perler Beads, 3D pens, Legos, robotics, green screen fun, crafts, and NURCs.

This year, Mrs. Gottman and Mrs. Gard are excited to have 34 students signed up to join the adventure. September was all about free exploration, and we can’t wait to show off more projects as the year goes on! 🎉🔧🤖

🎨 From blank palette to masterpiece 🧡🖤

Our new gym floor is becoming a true work of art! The lettering for Palmyra Panthers, Palmyra Lady Panthers, and our Panther logo were painted with precision, turning the court into a bold canvas of Panther pride. The next big part of the project will be bleacher installation next month! 🏀

Each detail brings us closer to unveiling a floor worthy of the athletes who will compete on it and the community who will fill the seats. We look forward to unveiling the final masterpiece! ✨🐾✨
