🎄 We are so proud of all the PES Panthers who showcased their creativity in this year’s Palmyra R-I Christmas Card Contest! Each student designed and drew their own festive card, and the entries were full of holiday spirit. The winners were selected at the board meeting Tuesday night and the winning design will be printed on the district card this year.

✨ Congratulations to Zyler from Mrs. Eagan's class, whose design was selected as this year’s winning card, and to Ellie from Mrs. Myers class as our runner-up! Both designs were amazing and we are proud of the artists and appreciate their hard work!

Thank you to all students who participated and shared their artistic talents—your work helped spread some Panther Christmas cheer! 🧡🖤🎅

Saturday, November 8, is National Parents as Teachers Day! 👶📚

What is Parents as Teachers Day? The vision for this day is to strive for a future where every family feels seen, supported, and strengthened from the very beginning. It is a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible impact of home visitors, parent educators, and early childhood champions who walk alongside families every step of their child’s early years. From pregnancy through preschool, they ensure every child has the strongest possible start — and remind us of the power of meeting families with support that truly helps them. 💕

Join us in honoring the stories, voices, and milestones that define this movement.

In Palmyra, we are proud to celebrate our own Parents as Teachers team — Early Childhood Coordinator Kathy Nicholson and parent educators, Jenifer and Tiffany, and administrative assistant, Bonnie — for the incredible work they do supporting our youngest learners and their families.

Thank you for walking beside our families, strengthening connections, and helping Palmyra’s children grow, learn, and thrive! 🧡🖤
