Last Wednesday 4/28 our Animal Science had a tour at Borgic Farms. Students were able to tour the Sow farm that house roughly 12,000 pigs. They raise roughly 450,000 market pigs for the pork industry and are a Family owned and ran company. They saw management and care practices, reproductive processes of Artificial Insemination (AI), farrowing & weaning process. We had 8 students try and pull piglets from sows in the farrowing barns! Half were successful, but proud of them for trying something new! They learned a lot and we enjoyed the day as a class connecting knowledge learned in class with real world principles.
Thursday May 14th the Pana High School bass fishing team competed in regionals at Coffeen Lake and had a good day but came up short of advancing to sectionals.

What a fun way to end the school year! 💦🎈

There was plenty of laughter, friendly competition, and lots of soaked teachers and students! Thank you to our students for finishing the year strong and continuing to Do the Right Thing every day. ☀️

Your support helps students grow in confidence, communication, and success both inside and outside the classroom. We are so grateful for the positive impact you make in our school community!
What an unforgettable day at our preschool foam party! 🎉🫧
The kids had an absolute blast running, jumping, and laughing in the mountains of foam. Their smiles and giggles filled the air as they played with friends and enjoyed every bubbly second. It was so fun watching their excitement and seeing them make such happy memories together.
The teachers had just as much fun joining in on the excitement—because you’re never too old to play in foam! It was a day full of joy, laughter, and lots of messy fun, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Days like today remind us how special these little moments are. 💙
