Our 7th graders dove into hands-on learning this week, exploring frog anatomy through dissections! A huge thanks to Mr. Rubarts for leading this engaging and educational experience. They definitely won't forget the sights (and smells!) of science in action!

🌟 Day 4 of "See Something, Say Something" Week! 🌟
Today, we're focusing on Trusted Adults! 🙌 Students are learning about the important people they can turn to for support—whether in their families, communities, or schools. 🏠🏫
To show appreciation, students will be writing letters or cards to thank one of their trusted adults today. 💌💚 We want to give a huge shout-out to all the amazing adults who help keep our students safe and supported! You are vital to their well-being, and we are so grateful for you! 🙏

Eighth-grade science students in Ms. Manley's class explored the periodic table in an engaging way: by spelling their names with the elements! The resulting display on the wall showcased a unique and enjoyable learning experience.





The PBL Junior High School Student Council raised over $2,000 for COTA for Warrior Jax. At each home sporting event, the student council sold popcorn at the concession stand and the proceeds went towards COTA for Warrior Jax. We are so incredibly proud of our student council and their efforts towards this great cause! Great job, Panthers!
