🎨✨ Magic in the Making at PCES! ✨🎨

Our Little Panthers in Kindergarten are mastering the art of color theory! 🖌️💙

To gear up for a total spooktacular October, our youngest artists explored the difference between warm and cool colors by painting their very own bubbling, magic cauldrons. 🧪🔥❄️

From vibrant oranges and fiery reds to icy blues and deep purples, these masterpieces are packed with creativity and autumn energy! We are so proud of how hard our Kindergarteners worked to bring their colorful potions to life. 🐾🎨

Swipe to see some of their incredible work! Which color potion would you brew? 🧙‍♀️👇

Paws up for our incredible readers! 🐾📚

We had an extra special day here at Plain City Elementary as we celebrated the amazing hard work of our Panthers during the Superintendent Reading Assembly!

We also visited classrooms to hand out summer reading and math certificates to all the students who kept their brains active all summer long. We are so proud of your dedication and drive to learn, Panthers!

Rain didn’t stop our Panthers from bringing the heat on Tuesday! 🐾🌧️⚡️

Our Boosterthon Fun Run was a total splash hit, and we loved seeing our students push through the drizzle with big smiles and unstoppable energy!

A massive shoutout to our incredible parents for braving the weather to line the track and cheer everyone on; your enthusiasm kept our runners going strong from start to finish! 📣💙

An event like this takes a village, and we are so grateful for our amazing PTA and wonderful volunteers who worked tirelessly to make Tuesday run smoothly (pun intended!).

Finally, a HUGE thank you to all of our generous donors! Because of your support, we raised vital funds that go directly back to making Plain City Elementary the best place to learn and grow.

We proved this week that a little rain can’t dampen our Panther Pride! 🤍💙🖤

🐾 Flag Duty with a Special Touch of Honor!

Our Plain City Panther 6th graders hold the special responsibility of raising and lowering our school's flag each day. We were privileged to welcome incredible local veterans to PCE! They spent time teaching our 6th graders the correct way to fold, handle, and respect the American flag.

A huge THANK YOU to these brave military members for their service to our country and for taking the time to mentor our students. We are so proud of our Panthers for stepping up to carry on this tradition with pride! 💙🤍🖤

🎃 Fall creative magic in the art room!

This week, our art specialist, Mrs. Hibbert, taught our 2nd graders how to bring the season to life by designing unique fall pumpkins using five different art mediums.

Our young artists experimented with combining various tools and textures, learning how different materials can transform a simple autumn idea into a vibrant masterpiece. It is always exciting to see how much technique and personality our students bring to their artwork!

Creativity at work. 🎨💙🖤

🐾 Once a Panther, Always a Panther! 💙🖤

Some teachers never truly leave the classroom! Kathy Vernieuw spent most of her career teaching 2nd grade at the original Plain City Elementary. Even after retiring, her heart stayed right here with our students.

For over 20 years, Mrs. Vernieuw has volunteered her time every single Wednesday to sing with our 2nd graders! 🎶✨ She’s bringing music, joy, and smiles to a whole new generation including the children of some of her former students!

Thank you, Mrs. Vernieuw, for your endless dedication and for making a difference across generations of Plain City Panthers. We love you! 💙

🍎 Spotted in 1st Grade: Our little Panthers turned ordinary paper into extraordinary masterpieces!

Our 1st graders have been diving into the world of art and learning all about mosaics—how tiny pieces come together to make one big, beautiful picture. To put their new skills to the test, they pieced together these incredible apple mosaics just in time for fall! ✂️🎨

It takes a lot of patience, creativity, and fine motor skills to place every single piece, and our students absolutely crushed it. We are so proud of their hard work and big imaginations!

Check out a few of our budding artists showing off their creations! 👇

🐾 PANTHER STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Mrs. Mumford! 💙🤍🖤

This week, we are celebrating 2nd Grade Teacher Sharon Mumford! Mrs. Mumford has been a teacher for 25 years, spending 22 of those wonderful years making learning come alive right here at Plain City Elementary.

Here are a few fun facts about Mrs. Mumford:
🐣 Favorite Tradition: Hatching chicks in her classroom every spring!
📚 Classroom Essential: "My classroom isn't complete without BOOKS!"
⚡ Panther Superpower: Super Organizer!
🥤 Go-To Fuel & Snack: Flavored water + licorice.

Mrs. Mumford was inspired to become an educator by her own 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Darrington. Now, she passes that passion down to our PCE Panthers every single day by encouraging them to stay curious and love learning! Thank you, Mrs. Mumford, for being paws-down the best! 🐾✨

Broccoli, paint, and math facts—just another exciting day in 3rd grade! 🥦🎨➗

Mrs. Child’s class had a busy (and colorful!) day packed with hands-on learning:

🥦 Broccoli Painting: Our 3rd graders got creative by swapping out traditional paintbrushes for broccoli! They used the textured florets to create some truly unique, stamping-style artwork.

✖️ Multiplication Practice: When the paint dried, it was time to dive into math! The class worked hard sharpening their multiplication facts, building a strong foundation for the rest of the school year.

We love seeing our Panthers stay creative while building important skills! 💙🖤🤍

Rocking into art, geology, AND history! 🎨🪨

Our incredible 4th graders spent today in the art room making their very own "birthday rocks"! They dove deep into learning how people throughout history have used rocks to communicate, tell stories, and create art—and why this ancient form of expression still connects us today.

From ancient petroglyphs to personalized art, these Panthers proved that learning can truly rock! 🐾💙🖤
