Ms. Reeder's 6th grade STEM students recently finished their Tiny House projects and the results were incredible!
Before building, students learned what tiny homes are all about by discussing real-world limitations and watching an episode featuring tiny house living. From there, they took on every part of the process:
📝 Keeping attendance logs and daily paperwork
💰 Managing a budget and “shopping” at the class store
📐 Designing blueprints
🔨 Building their tiny homes using recycled and creative materials like egg cartons, popsicle sticks, straws, yarn, fabric, cereal boxes, buttons, and more!
Their creativity really shined through collaboration and problem-solving — some even used real hardwood flooring donated from Ms. Reeder’s own home renovation! 👏 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom
🥇 Girls Team – 1st Place!
Medalists: Harper finished 2nd (13:31), Austee 3rd (13:39), and Gabbie 8th (14:59).

A big thank-you to our MS Counselor, Mrs. McBride and to all who helped organize this hands-on learning experience for area students! 🙌
Students toured several local landmarks, including the Old Marion County Jail Museum, the Marion County Courthouse, and Big Spring Park, and also enjoyed a historical bus tour around town. They listened to presentations by the Stuhlman Brothers about wagon making and even had the chance to climb aboard a Stuhlman Bros. wagon! The day wrapped up with lunch and exploration at Flower City Park.
A huge thank you to all the community members who shared their time and knowledge to help our students learn more about Palmyra’s past and present — Gary Stuhlman, Larry Stuhlman, Ellen Stuhlman, Carol Brentlinger, Betsy Welty, Mary Bross, Christine Crawford, and the Palmyra Parks and Recreation Department. #PantherPrideInTheCommunity
