The Pana Junior and Senior High School Bands and Choirs recently presented their annual Fall Demonstration Concert. It was a wonderful evening that showcased the higher-level learning that happens daily in their music classes. The audience enjoyed performances by the 6th Grade Beginning Band, 7th-8th Grade Choir, 7th-8thGrade/HS Combined Bands, and HS Band and Color Guard. Congratulations to all the students and their directors on a great performance!

Science has been full of fun learning in Second Grade! Not only did we get to talk about soil and decomposes, we also learned why natural materials are better than synthetic materials for the Earth 🌎!
Today we enjoyed a STEM challenge from Miss Hahnenkamp in the STEM Lab to create a candy tower using a limited supply of tooth picks and candy. The class discussed shape and structure ideas to get started. We may have some future architects in the room! Thanks for a fun and creative lesson Miss Hahnenkamp!
ATTENTION!!! New rodeo stars will be born during the wild and crazy "Dairyland Donkey Basketball Show" at Eye of the Tiger Gym in Tower Hill on October 26th starting at 7pm!

All local players will be riding so come out and see someone you know try to ride a donkey and play basketball at the same time. It's a thrill a minute, a spill a minute! Laugh as you've never laughed before at the wild and crazy Donkey Basketball show!

What a beautiful day at PJHS! ☀️ Our students had an amazing time playing games outside, from corn relays to pumpkin bowling and ring toss. Not to mention the delicious s'mores! 🍫🔥
PJHS students and teachers have been reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. The movie was released at the end of September, so students have been discussing similarities and difference between the two. The famous questions is, which is better - book or movie?
As Kindergartners learned about fire safety this week, teachers read the book Lou, by Breanna Carzoo, and did some fun activities. Students LOVED the book. They said it was amazing, funny, and they laughed hysterically!
