From the first day to the last, our Panthers filled our schools with learning, laughter, friendships, accomplishments, and unforgettable memories. We are incredibly proud of all that was achieved this year and grateful for the support, encouragement, and partnership that make Pennfield such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and lead.

As the halls grow quiet and summer begins, we wish all of our Pennfield families a season filled with sunshine, relaxation, adventure, and time spent with those you love. On behalf of Superintendent Lemmer, the Board of Education, administration, and the entire Pennfield staff, thank you for a wonderful school year. We wish you a safe, happy, and relaxing summer and look forward to welcoming our Panthers back in the fall.

😎 Shades on, Panthers! You've earned it. Enjoy a summer full of sunshine, fun, and adventure!
