This morning, Cross Country, Cheer and PHS Football greeted students at Palmyra Elementary with big smiles and high fives 🙌.

A special shoutout to two of our Panther football players who took time to read to the 1st grade classes 📚🏈. What an awesome way to show leadership and encourage our younger Panthers! 🧡🖤

🐾 A huge THANK YOU to the Palmyra Chamber of Commerce and President, Kelly Porter, for their generous donation to our PAWS Pack Program! 🐾

PES Counselor, Cindy Livesay is pictured with Kelly accepting the donation. Mrs. Livesay said the PAWS Pack program currently serves over 100 students and provides food to students on a weekly basis.

Due to the rising cost in the market, we are asking for financial assistance from community members/businesses who would like to get involved. Community support helps PES provide weekend meals for students in need, and we are so grateful for your partnership in caring for our Panther families. 🧡🖤

We love seeing our Panthers set such a positive example for the younger students! Building readers, leaders, and Panther pride — both on and off the field! 🏈📖

🤒 Too Sick for School? 🏫

We know it can be hard to decide if your child is well enough for class. Nurse Jones and Nurse Hoewing would like to share some quick guidelines on when to keep students home — and when it is safe to send them back.

✅ Check out the graphic for tips on fevers, stomach bugs, sore throats, and more.
💡 A good rule of thumb: if your student isn’t feeling well enough to participate in learning or could spread illness to others, it is best to keep them home.

Thank you for helping us keep your Panthers and our schools healthy! 🐾

📚🐾 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!

🏀✨ 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.)
