Mrs. Simpson's Preschool classes had some visitors today. Mrs. Henschen's classes came and read Christmas stories to the kids that they wrote all on their own. They even added some familiar names into their stories. The preschool students absolutely loved listening to the stories and visiting with Mrs. Henschen's students.
Mrs. Rodman's Second grade had a surprise visitor. He brought us cookies and picked up his mail! A special thanks to Scoopd and the Grinch!

We want to thank Trevor Higgins for the past 18 years of service he dedicated to Pana as a football coach. In his 9 years as head coach, Trevor amassed the most victories of any head coach in Pana history with 78. He reached the IHSA Quarterfinals four times and never missed the playoffs.
Trevor made a huge mark on the lives of hundreds of student athletes who came through the Pana football program, as well as all the students during his time as a junior high PE teacher. He was a mentor and a role model for a plethora of kids, and his impact will be missed.
Thank you, Trevor! We wish you the best in your next phase of life!
TECH Time was a hit today! K-2 students developed important problem-solving skills by completing patterns with Indi. 5th graders explored the world of STEM through hands-on drone flight.
