Palmer ISD -

One of our Ag Structures classes had some extra time this week to finish a project for the Middle School. We designed some signs to help visitors identify the main office entrance and the Gold Building entrance. Students are excited to get to work in the shop after finishing our annual safety training and review. We are excited to have the largest number of students that we have ever had enrolled in our Ag Mechanics classes. We are excited to see new students learning the welding trade and returning students improving and learning new skills.

We POPPED in on our staff this afternoon to give them a treat - cake POPS & soda POP! Our staff give their very best for your children and we appreciate you sharing them with us each day!! ❤️

🌎 Hands-on learning in Mr. Bailey’s class! Students made predictions about the relationship between vegetation and soil properties, then put them to the test by simulating a flood and landslide. A great way to explore the interactions between Earth’s spheres. #Daretobebetter

The PALs worked on their communication skills this week by giving instructions to "Aliens" on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
