🍪🎨 Students in Ms. Knoche's Fashion Design Fundamentals put their color knowledge to the test! After learning about the elements and principles of design, they created edible color wheels using vanilla wafers, icing, and food coloring.

🌈 From primary to secondary and even tertiary colors — they mixed, matched, and then enjoyed their colorful (and tasty!) creations! 😋🧡🖤

PHS Families,

The high school was placed on a soft lockdown at approximately 1 pm today. A person was released from the Marion County Jail and was then approached for further questioning at a nearby location. After being approached by police, the person ran causing PHS to go into the soft lockdown from 1:00 pm - 1:20 pm. The person was quickly located and the soft lockdown was lifted. The high school is operating normally again.

If you have Palmyra High School students and your family did not receive text notifications this afternoon regarding this matter, please contact the office to verify your contact information is up to date.

Thank you,
Jason Harper
Superintendent

📚 Panther Pride in Action 📚

Palmyra Elementary students enrolled in the ASP Book Club have been hard at work practicing their read-aloud skills — focusing on expression, confidence, respect, and kindness. Once a month with PES Librarian, Ms. Lehenbauer, they take those stories on the road to Maple Lawn, where they share books (and lots of smiles!) with the residents.

It is a joy to watch the students and residents light up as they connect through reading. The laughter, conversations, and moments they share melt hearts every time. 🧡🖤

We are so proud of our Panthers for showing what it means to learn, grow, and spread kindness beyond the classroom! 🐾
