The Panama City Renaissance School is wonderful. I am very impressed with the quality of the teachers and the administration. The school is well run and the curriculum is terrific. My daughter is challenged and nurtured. I am particularly impressed with the level of the English, math, science and history. I also really like the extra curricular options. There are so many cultural and educational activities we can’t participate in them all! It is nice to have all these choices. At one point we considered moving out of the area to find better schooling. After finding the PCRS, it would be tough to leave. Thank you PCRS for providing such great learning environment in Panama City.

Outside the Box – Juliann Talkington

Last week the Panama City Renaissance School Artist in Residence, Kim Griffin, lead the class through an observation project. First the children studied the bold quilts that were created in the twentieth century by a group of women who live in the small, isolated African-American community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. Then the children created their own renditions with acrylic paint.

On Friday, children from the Panama City Renaissance School visited the Paul Brent Centennial Art Exhibition at the Visual Arts Center. The kids enjoyed the exhibition of Mr. Brent’s work which includes everything from realistic beach and downtown scenes to modern renditions of sunsets. After enjoying the exhibition the group spent some time in the children’s play area and then finished the afternoon with a stop at the ice cream shop.

Outside the Box – Juliann Talkington

On Friday, the 2nd grade class from the Panama City Renaissance School visited James Auto Center for a hands on lesson about how car brakes work. James Morris, owner of James Auto Center and radio talk show host of “Ask the Master Auto Technician,” spent the early afternoon showing the children brake disks, brake fluid, brake pads, and the details of how a car stops when the driver puts pressure on the brake pedal. The field trip was a the perfect conclusion to the classroom study of brakes and a great way for the children to learn about how the mechanical part of our world works.
