PJHS Art students are exploring the iPad and cricut machine this week. 6th grader Owen Pieper hand drew his own snowflake in the procreate drawing app. His hand drawn snowflake was uploaded to cricut to make a custom snowflake keychain. Way to go Owen! #Tech💻 #Art🎨 #Nature❄️

School officials were alerted about a short statement written on a bathroom stall at PJHS. It is unknown when it was written or how long it has been there. Our campus is on a soft lockdown while administration and the Pana Police Department address the statement. This matter is being thoroughly investigated by the Pana Police Department. There is no immediate threat. We will keep you posted.

Mrs. Simpson’s classes enjoyed their Valentine’s parties today! We graphed candy hearts (and then got to eat them), colored Valentine pages, enjoyed yummy treats, and played a fun game of Musical Hearts! It was a busy, exciting, and love-filled day in preschool!
