Using math concepts, 160 popsicle sticks, Elmer’s glue, and only a limited amount of hot glue, student teams designed and constructed their own bridges. Each group presented their design to the class before the ultimate test—stacking textbooks on top until the bridge could hold no more! 📚💥

Coach Huffman, Coach Williamson, and Coach Hutchings recently brought members of both the girls and boys wrestling programs to the Palmyra R-1 School Board Meeting to share about their season and the many benefits of participating in wrestling.

Love and creativity are in the air in Mrs. Orr’s art classroom this Valentine’s season!
Kindergarten artists explored the work of Pop artist Jim Dine, learning about the recurring themes in his art—especially his famous heart imagery. Students created their own expressive Pop Art hearts inspired by his bold, playful style. ❤️
First grade students studied Jean-Michel Basquiat, focusing on his powerful symbols and recurring imagery, including his iconic crowns used to represent strength, importance, and celebration. Their crowned heart creations beautifully reflect these meaningful ideas. 👑
Third grade artists explored oil pastel blending techniques and color layering while creating vibrant, concentric, tie-dye inspired hearts full of color and creativity. 💜
Mark your calendars, many of these pieces will also be featured in our upcoming Pop Art Glow Show during Night of the Arts on April 20th! ✨
We love seeing our young Panthers share their creativity and heart through art! 🧡🖤
