Ms. Holthaus’ Consumer Education classes took over Save-A-Lot to put their budgeting skills to work! Students had to shop for "families" of various sizes while navigating dietary restrictions and—most importantly—staying under budget.
We love seeing our students gain real-life skills in the community! Thank you, Save-A-Lot!

Tiny scientists at work!
Today in Mrs. Simpson's preschool classes, we turned into real-life scientists as we melted ice to discover hidden dinosaurs! The kids made predictions, observed changes, and couldn’t wait to see which dino would appear next.
So much excitement, curiosity, and hands-on learning all in one activity 💚
Pana Jr High Panther Den helped out at the Methodist church, and on our walk back Pana School Board President got them all a little treat! Doing good for others makes a community better!

Mrs. Simpson’s preschool classes are learning all about dinosaurs! Yesterday, the students used linking cubes to measure how tall different dinosaurs are. We talked about which dinosaur was the largest and then completed a fun measuring activity to bring our learning to life. We have lots of exciting activities planned as we continue our dinosaur unit—stay tuned for more fun!

🎉Last week, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students worked incredibly hard on the IAR state assessment. To recognize their effort and commitment, students earned tickets to enter into drawings for a variety of rewards. These prizes ranged from fun experiences such as sitting in the principal’s chair for a day, special lunches, extra time in specials, and pizza parties to items like bike grips, gift certificates, and even season pool passes.
This celebration would not have been possible without the generous support of our local community businesses. We would like to extend a special thank you to Adventure Play, Scoop'd, Taco Rey, Pizza Man, Pana Pool, Pana SnowBiz, Pana Bowl and Sparrow Bicycle Co. for helping make this event such a success. 🥳

Curious how Chromebooks get fixed? 👀 At the Rochester STEM Fair Wednesday night, PHS Technology Applications students turned their booth into a live repair lab — disassembled laptops, trays of parts, and real-time diagnostics. Senior Head Technician Parker Moore provided mentorship by training a new student on diagnostic and repair processes, enabling more efficient in-house repairs and reducing device downtime for the school. This is the third year Pana students have led Chromebook repair as a student group in the district and it is a strong example of project-based learning that builds technical competence and leadership.
The booth was a part of 80 presenters with over 1000 in attendance for the event! Proud of these Panther technicians! 🛠️💻👏
