On Saturday, November 23, thirteen talented music students from Pana Junior and Senior High Schools took part in the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA) District 5 Festival. This prestigious honor followed a rigorous audition process. The students had the opportunity to rehearse alongside peers from other schools in the area, under the guidance of esteemed guest directors. The event culminated in a series of exceptional festival performances that were enjoyed by the public.
The following Pana Junior and Senior High School musicians were selected for the 2024 ILMEA District Five Festivals:
Liberty Law (French Horn) performed in the Senior Orchestra.
Karlee Hooper (Flute) and Alyssa Pieper (Clarinet) played in the Senior Band.
Treyson Presnell (Trumpet), Milo Martell (French Horn), Lilly Frost (Trumpet), and Brynlee Tipsword (Trumpet) participated in the Junior Band.
Em Mendenhall (Tenor), Gabby Heinrich (Alto), Cayden Hankins (Bass), Maisen Virden (Alto), Tyler McGuire (Bass), and Haven Blodgett (Alto) sang in the Treble and Mixed Choirs.
This event highlighted the exceptional musical talents of these students and their dedication to their craft.
Our PES students had a great time with the PHS CKH club! They enjoyed a fun 'Would You Rather' Thanksgiving discussion and some friendly company during lunch. We're so grateful for our strong Panther family! #PantherPride #Community
A little fun on Thursday! Our staff, district wide, participated in an 'Anything But a Cup' challenge, much to the amusement of our students. #SchoolFun #TeacherLife

Thursday was a special day at PES! A huge thank you to our amazing PJHS students for showing their appreciation on Thank a Teacher Day! Your kind words and treats mean a lot. We're so lucky to have you. We're always here for you! #AmericanEducationWeek2024
Our garden box has added so many fun learning opportunities. It taught us a lot about soil and plants. Now we built our own community. Everyone could bring or find things in the classroom for our residential, business, park, and rural areas. Ask us about Larry! 🦗
During American Education Week, let's take a moment to acknowledge and thank our Pana School Board members for their dedication and support to our district.

Another Wednesday brought more great handwriting. These girls are showing off their cursive. Congratulations to Adria for winning this week.
REMINDER!! The Scholastic book fair at PES is tomorrow and Friday. 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will go to the fair during the school day. We will then remain open after school Thursday until 7 (this is a slight change due to many families having basketball practice)! If you plan on coming after school, please wait until dismissal is complete to park in the parking lot.
