📚🐾 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!
Building readers, leaders, and Panther pride — both on and off the field! 🏈📖
Meanwhile, football players, cheerleaders, and pom squad brought major energy at morning arrival — giving high fives and big Panther pride to kick off the school day and our first home game! 🧡🖤
It was a great morning seeing PHS athletes giving back at PES! Once a Panther, always a Panther! 🐾

🏀✨ 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.)

🚍 STOP for School Buses – It’s the Law 🛑
When you see a school bus stopped with red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you must stop – whether you are behind it or coming from the opposite direction on an undivided road.
📍 This protects our students as they get on or off the bus.
❌ Never pass a stopped school bus.
✅ Wait until the lights stop flashing, the stop arm retracts, and the bus starts moving before you go.
Let’s work together to keep our Panthers safe every morning and afternoon! 🐾
School begins Wednesday, August 20th!
