The last group of students has now left Lincoln and Washington Schools. These buildings have served the children of Pana well for 100 years. Next year, we will all enter the NEW Pana Elementary School. Thank you to Pana PTO for purchasing every student and staff member a commemorative t-shirt and to Mr. Tony Ambrose with Prairie Skycam for capturing some wonderful photos of us all in front of our beloved buildings.
A Time to Celebrate!
We took a moment to recognize some incredible members of our school district family on Wednesday!
We'd like to give a huge shout-out to all our staff members celebrating milestones in their careers! From dedicated teachers who've inspired generations of students to tireless support staff who keep our schools running smoothly, your commitment to our students is truly remarkable.
A bittersweet farewell goes out to our amazing colleagues who are embarking on a well-deserved retirement! Your dedication and passion have shaped countless young minds, and your presence will be deeply missed. We wish you all the best in this exciting new chapter!
PJHS Yearbooks
What feels like the end is often the beginning. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this group of 8th grade students!
We apologize for the technical difficulties. The PJHS 8th Grade Promotion ceremony will NOT be live-streamed, but will be uploaded to our Pana Athletics YouTube channel this evening.
Taylor Cothern, 6th grade language arts teacher, was recognized Saturday evening by ISBE as a 2024 recipient for a Those Who Excel Award. She was awarded Special Recognition, which was given out to teachers who “have connected with their school community and made a positive impact”. Taylor was nominated for her role in bringing the EB Academics writing program to PJHS and her dedication to working alongside teachers as they implemented the program.
PJHS celebrated the end to a fabulous school year. It was a beautiful day to enjoy sno cones, popcorn, inflatables, and the chance to soak a teacher in the dunk tank!
Mrs. Cross' 4th graders made a splash testing their skills today! They learned patience and precision while driving their robot "Bolt" and catching objects in the water. They even tackled the challenge of navigating "Bolt" up a ramp into a container! #STEMfun https://rb.gy/o5r2c4
Mrs. Sloan's 4th graders put the 'force' in fantastic with their roller coaster creations!
Throughout the year, they've been learning about forces and motion, and this STEM project was a thrilling way to put their knowledge to the test. Check out the video to see some epic coaster designs! #STEMfun #ForcesAndMotion #RollerCoasters https://rb.gy/jg9bl8
The 5th grade building crew visited the new Pana Elementary on April 30th for their final interview with Mr. Fuhler. It's amazing to see how much progress has been made since their first visit back in the fall! ️ Check out the video to see the transformation! We can't wait to start the new year in our incredible new school! #NewPanaElementary #BuildingCrew #Excited https://rb.gy/bod9wd
8th Grade Promotion will be streamed live on the Pana Athletics Youtube channel tomorrow.

K-2 TRACK AND FIELD DAY:
Track and Field Day is Tuesday (tomorrow). We will be outside most of the day so make sure they have their water bottle- we do not have extra bottles of water. Also-Please sunscreen your kids, dress lightly but appropriately with tennis shoes and t-shirts to protect those shoulders from the sun! AND - if they want to wear a baseball hat they can do so to help shade their faces from the sun.... (just make sure it stays on- nobody like to lose a race because their hat fell off! lol)
We are looking forward to a GREAT DAY of fun and excitement!!
PHS will be hosting Pana Power Camp. See flyer details to sign up!
Ice Cream anyone? Ag science classes made some homemade ice cream to wrap up our Dairy Unit before starting their final project of the school year.
