Hello from Mrs. Chase and Ms. Strom, Directors of PHS's Production of High School Musical! As some of you have heard, our rehearsal process has faced many challenges such as persistent absenteeism, limited rehearsal time due to a myriad of factors, students leaving our cast, and not being able to secure students to fill all our necessary roles. We must admit while there has been a lot of hard work and fantastic progress on the show, we are most definitely quite behind in where we need to be at this point. Due to the varying levels of commitment, we have not been able to progress as quickly as we would have liked and at this juncture, it just does not seem feasible to continue the production in its current iteration.
It is for this reason and with heavy hearts that we have decided to cancel this year's production of "High School Musical" at Pana High School. We most certainly recognize the hard work that has been put in by all the dedicated students of the show, not only on stage but also behind the scenes. We also acknowledge how the cast's singing, dancing, acting and confidence have grown throughout this experience. They have also made new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime! We hope that the students will take these educational values with them into other areas of their lives in the future!
Stay tuned for news of a special evening event which will showcase our talented cast and chorus members as they present individual performances in a Talent Show format!
Ms Hahnenkamp had a fun time with the Rapping with Staff reporters today. Thanks Samantha & Joli!
PHS Anatomy & Physiology students are measuring muscle fatigue today. Feel the burn!!!!
5 Essentials Survey Information
Pana parents are invited to participate in the Illinois 5 Essentials Survey.
As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child’s school.
On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago. The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains. These five indicators that affect and predict school success are:
• Effective Leaders
• Collaborative Teachers
• Involved Families
• Supportive Environments
• Ambitious Instruction
Prior research in more than 400 schools has shown that schools that were strong on at least three of these “5Essential” indicators were 10 times more likely to improve student learning gains in math and reading than those that were weak on three or more Essentials.
Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help educators understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
Please go to panaschools.com and click on the 5 Essentials Survey at the top of the page. Your help is greatly appreciated!
When you finish your FACS lesson a little early, you play charades!!
