📣 Panther Football Update 🏈
Our junior high football game scheduled in Bynum this Thursday has been cancelled due to Bynum not having enough players.
We’re currently working to find a replacement game and will keep everyone updated as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our Panthers! 💙🐾

• School Bus Driver Appreciation Week: February 9–13, 2026.
• A Huge Shout-Out to Our School Bus Superheroes! 🚌
This week is School Bus Driver Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible team that keeps our students moving! Rain or shine, our drivers are the first friendly faces our students see in the morning and the last ones to wish them a great evening. It's not just about driving; it's about the patience, care, and safety they provide on every single mile. They navigate traffic, manage the "morning energy," and make sure every child gets home safely.
If you see your driver at the stop this week, a quick "thank you" or even a friendly wave goes a long way toward showing them they are a vital part of our school family.
To our drivers: Thank you for your dedication, your early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and days off, and for being the heartbeat of our district's transportation!
