PJHS Parents/Guardians - Picture forms went home today. Picture day will be October 29th.

Our preschool classes had a visit from the Pana Fire Department today! Our students and parents learned some very important fire safety tips, including the importance of practicing a home escape plan, choosing a meeting place, knowing what number to call in an emergency, having working smoke detectors, and remembering to Stop, Drop & Roll!
The kids also had so much fun exploring the fire trucks and checking out all of the cool tools and equipment our firefighters use.
A huge thank-you to the Pana Fire Department for spending time with our preschoolers and helping teach them how to stay safe! We had such a fun and educational day!





Congratulations to Jayden Stone! He is selected for the month of October as PHS Artist of the Month. Jayden demonstrates outstanding work in art class. Jayden prefers pen ink as his favorite art medium. If Jayden shared advice to other artists it is, "practice makes perfect."






Congrats to Cruze for being the 6th grade artist of the month! Cruze was nominated by his classmate peers. The entire art class voted as a group. He is kind to others, he finishes his projects, & asks for help when needed! Congratulations! #Panthers🐈⬛🐾 #Art🎨

What's happening in the PJHS Art classroom: Sewing projects! 6th graders were super creative with their custom patterns & ideas. Fun was had by all! #GoPanthers🐈⬛🐾 #Art🎨
