Current 8th graders, we are having Colorguard tryouts on April 20th. If you would like to be a part of an awesome team in HS pick up a packet in the office! The packet has all the information about next year including the schedule of events!

Thank you to our Palmer MS MOMS for drawing these colorful messages to our students on test day. We appreciate all you do for PJH!







Tomorrow our students take the reading STAAR and get their chance to show why Palmer ISD is the best! Please make sure your student charges their chromebook, dresses in layers, and brings snacks. It is also important that they get lots of rest and eat breakfast in the morning. Reminder that we are closed to visitors tomorrow. They are going to rock the STAAR!

Our Palmer FFA and Jr. FFA members are still trucking at the Ellis County Youth Expo!
Yesterday was another busy day with the broiler and goat show!
4 Palmer students competed in the goat show and all did well getting their animals set and shown for the judge.
Although only 1 student stuck a sale spot, all 4 did amazingly well, especially since it was 3 out of 4 of their first county showing goats!
Congrats to Reese Wright on placing 3rd and getting a sale spot!

Over the past three weeks, 5th grade ELA students have been competing in STAAR Madness! The top winners from Mrs. Myers’ class and Mrs. Osborne’s class faced off in the final competition. Great job to all of 5th grade for working hard and getting ready to show what they know in just a few short days!






These young men exhibited their deer stand project in the marketplace division last week at the Ellis County Livestock show and rodeo ag mechanics show.
