On Monday, the Spanish classes helped the Panama City Renaissance School ring in spring with singing, dancing and an art show. The younger children had a great time looking at (and touching) the art pieces the older children had created. The masks and wreaths were some of the students’ favorites. And everyone loved the Spanish song about the mouse in the house and the special presentation the preschool children made. In addition to all the fun, it was a great opportunity for the students to practice making public presentations in Spanish.

On Wednesday, first graders from the Panama City Renaissance School visited the Panama City Junior Museum. It was a great opportunity for the students to reinforce what they had learned in class with different teaching aids.The kids explored exhibits on Florida flora and fauna, the body, water and music. And of course they had a great time spending an afternoon “off-campus”.

On Wednesday, preschool and elementary school students from the Panama City Renaissance School attended the National Tours version of Annie.  The fast paced musical was a hit with the kids and parent chaperones. The PCRS wants to give National Tours a special thank you for providing reduced price tickets for the school.
