Students from both the elementary and middle schools enjoyed a special sneak peek—and they were the perfect audience!
Backstage, Mrs. Breitling gave the 3rd - 6th grade performers some final words of encouragement before showtime. Their excitement and teamwork made the whole gym buzz with holiday spirit! 🌟🎭

In a nook that gets fuller each day,
Lives our legendary Lost & Found display.
Hoodies waiting, side by side,
Like they went on a field trip and never got a ride.
Water bottles dreaming of one more sip,
Lunch bags hoping for a final trip.
Jackets hanging in every shade,
Wondering why their owners never came.
So take a peek, come look around—
Your missing stuff wants to be found!
Claim a coat, a bottle, a pack…
Help these lonely items get back on track!

Mrs. Harper’s 7th grade science classes have been learning all about cells. Today, they brought learning to life and presented their creative hands-on projects to their classmates.
Students built models representing either a plant or animal cell. Their creativity shined, making game boards, sports fields, vehicles, wrestling mats and more!
We are proud of their hard work and imagination. 🧡🖤 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom @ Palmyra Middle School
