As part of the curriculum, the Level 50 English students at the Panama City Renaissance School authored and illustrated picture books for young children. After the students completed their books, they read them to the Pre-K4 class.  The preschoolers loved the stories and enjoyed having the older kids read to them. And the older students enjoyed sharing their work.

Over the past several weeks, the PCRS Art and Community Service classes made beautiful gift boxes for the women living in the Women’s Shelter at the Panama City Mission. Many of these women are single mothers who have no other family and will likely go without gifts this holiday season. This past Thursday, students filled those boxes with gifts donated by the PCRS parents. The boxes were filled with slippers, gloves, socks, fingernail polish, lotion, perfume, lip gloss/ chap stick, makeup, jewelry, bath and toiletry items.  Ms. Estes took the boxes to the MIssion on Friday. Thanks to everyone who participated in this wonderful project.

The Panama City Renaissance School students celebrated the end of the semester in style. The classrooms were filled with yummy treats and the kids dressed in street clothes. Some students chose jeans and t-shirts and others wore party dresses. In addition, some classes had gift exchanges. And the teachers received their wish tree gifts too.

Over the past several months the art students at the Panama City Renaissance School has been learning about some of the great painters. As part of each class, the students learn about the life and artistic style of the painter and about features of their well know works.  Two of the artists are Monet and Rousseau.   Take a look at the students’ renditions of a Monet style watercolor and a Rousseau style jungle mixed media piece.

On Friday, Kathy Fabian from Sunny 98.5 visited the Panama City Renaissance School as part of the Reading, Writing and Radio Tour.  Even though it was a little chilly and EARLY, the kids had a great time.  From 6:45 – 9:00 am the kindergarten – fifth grade students gave weather reports, said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang songs and recited poems. In between segments, the students ate bagels, drank juice and talked with Ms. Fabian.  They are still talking about “being on the radio.”
