Regular Board of Education Notice
Pennfield High School is excited to celebrate the accomplishment of Calvin Paesen's and the Varsity Boys Basketball Team! 🏀🔥 Calvin recently set a new personal milestone, hitting a total of 11 three-pointers in one game, while helping the team to break Pennfield High School's record of 15 three-pointers in a game. After spending the off-season improving his shot, Calving knew he was on track to break the record when the flow of the game saw both teams on a three-pointer streak.
Celebrating the achievement with his family, Calvin plans to frame the game ball as a memento. Now, his focus shifts to breaking the single-season 3-point record, but he's keeping a "next game" mentality, prioritizing team success over individual stats.
Looking ahead, Calvin has his eyes set on a state championship and hopes to continue his success in both basketball and baseball. 👏🔥
Pennfield High School is excited to celebrate 100 wins and counting, a celebration of the commitment of Braylin Swank. After years of overcoming setbacks and challenges, Braylin reached a major milestone with 100 career wins. With a current season record of 22-1, he's proven his resilience on the mat. 🏆
Reflecting on his journey, Swank shared, "It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it. You can’t get too hyped up until it’s all over. The grind continues." Celebrating his achievement on January 22, 2025, Braylin was awarded a plaque for his dedication. Looking ahead, his focus remains on the next step: districts, regionals, and hopefully, Ford Field for States in mid-February.
While he's been working on securing a college wrestling scholarship, Swank also has an eye on a future in the trades. His journey is just getting started, and he’s determined to keep pushing forward. Congratulations Braylin! We can't wait to see how you continue to #LearnGrowLead 👏
🎳🔥 Huge congratulations to our Boys Bowling team for their incredible achievement—currently ranked #3 in the state for Division Two! 🏆👏 Their hard work, dedication, and teamwork continue to make Pennfield proud. Keep rolling, Panthers! 💚
Check out this positivity in action!✨This month, one of the Middle School PBIS lessons during PRIDE Time focused on the "P" in PRIDE: Positivity. Students worked in groups to create posters filled with positive "P" words, like"Proactive" and "Punctual" and discussed how these words influence their behavior and mindset. Teachers added their input, furthering the conversations about how positivity helps us grow as individuals and as a school! This lesson provided a chance for students to reflect, connect, and build tools to strengthen their personal goals and contributions to our school community. Way to #LearnGrowLead Middle School! 💡📝

Panther P.A.W.S. is a part of building PBIS designed to help Kindergarten through 4th-grade students develop positive habits and behaviors that support their growth and success. P.A.W.S. stands for Practice Kindness, Act Responsibly, Work Hard, and Stay Safe, serving as a daily guide for students in everything they do, whether they are in the classroom, on the playground, or in the community. Families play a vital role in reinforcing these values by encouraging their children to show their P.A.W.S. at school and at home. Together, we can create a positive and supportive environment where every Panther can thrive!
