What's happening in the PJHS Art Room: digital artwork created on the IPads & Apple Pencil devices. 6th & 7th graders voted this Mandala project first during the 2nd quarter. We love technology & art together! Thank you Ms. Skinner & Mrs. Keeling for this cool opportunity.






Our 5th graders completed their first 3D print of the year! 🎉
Students used a program called Tinkercad to design their own bookmarks and then printed their creations using our 3D printers! They were excited to see their designs turn into something they can actually use. 📚✨
We can’t wait to see what they create next!

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."
