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🎨

Please see the attached document containing reminders for arrival and dismissal at PHS. The procedures put in place are to ensure student safety and to make the process as timely as possible.
Reminder: Required Physicals and Immunization Records
Several students still do not have their required physicals and immunization records on file. Please submit this documentation to the school by October 15. Students who have not submitted the required documentation by the deadline will be sent home.
School will not be in session October 8–12. This break is a good opportunity to schedule any needed appointments without your child missing instructional time.
Thank you for helping us keep students healthy and ready to learn!
