Congratulations to PHS Artist of the Month: Lainey Clavin! Lainey represents the month of December. Her favorite art medium is watercolor but doesn't mind digital art. Advice she would give: "Just practice & focus on you. You impact the world." Congrats! #Art🎨 #Panthers🐾🐈⬛






📚 Yesterday for American Education Week, some of our upstairs teachers swapped classrooms with downstairs teachers to do a read aloud, and older students joined younger classes for engaging literacy activities. It was amazing to see new voices, fresh perspectives, and cross-grade connections spark curiosity and confidence in reading.










🍂 Mrs. Mathis's fourth grade class collected leaves outdoors, carefully traced their shapes, and transformed those tracings into 3D prints in the makerspace. To deepen learning, students paired the hands-on process with a writing project!




PHS will dismiss tomorrow at 12:20 due to the district wide Teacher's Workshop.
Mrs Chase's Music of our World classes took a trip to Hawaii this week, complete with learning to play ukuleles!


🎺 PES kicked off American Education Week with an energizing visit from the high school band! Thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, families, and community members who support student learning every day. We celebrate YOU this week!✨
