Congratulations to Emma Stephens and John Berns as they start their Illinois Music Educators Conference All State weekend!
Due to inclement weather, there will be no school today, January 25, 2022 for Pana CUSD #8.
Mrs. King’s class, along with Ms. Hahnenkamp’s help, did a STEM activity on making the largest snowman. They made snow out of baking soda and conditioner. Check out their designs.
PJHS 6th Grade Art students visited the ICE BOX STEM LAB for one more day. Today students learned how to design unique snowflakes using symmetry + radial balance. Plus how to copy an image + recreate it as a new drawing brush on the Ipads! The app is called ProCreate.

We practiced using commas today with macaroni noodles in Mrs. Crawford’s class! This put our fine motor skills to the test!
