🏀✨ 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.)

🚌💛 A big THANK YOU to our amazing bus drivers who get our Panthers to and from school safely every day! They are the first smiling faces many of our students see in the morning and the last before heading home.

🚦 A reminder to all drivers:
✅ Stop when you see a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop sign extended.
✅ Never pass a bus loading or unloading students.
✅ Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.

Together, we can keep our Panthers safe! 🐾

🚍 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!

🚧✨ Construction Update! ✨🚧

We are in the home stretch! 🏁 Crews have been working hard all summer at the Elementary and Middle School campuses, and we are excited to share that everything is on track to be ready before the first day of school on August 20th! 🛠️📚

The High School projects will be ongoing with the hope that the kitchen and classrooms will be finished by early to mid-
September. The locker rooms and gymnasium will be the final projects completed and that will fall in mid-
October.

From fresh finishes to improved safety, these updates will make a big impact for our students and staff. Thank you for your patience and support as we wrap up the final touches! 👷‍♀️🧡🖤🐾
