Panther News and Updates
​
On Friday, October 18, our PTA and Parkmont Faculty/Staff hosted the Panther Prowl. This event was incredibly successful as we met our fund raising goal and everyone had a great time at this wonderful community event. The students were energetic and enthusiastic as they ran laps and high fived our mascot Park-Monty. This event takes an army of volunteers and a great deal of staff and faculty members to be successful. My thanks to our PTA for their commitment and hard work. A special thanks to our PTA President, Siva Ravichandran, for spearheading this event. A big thank you to our coordinators from Parkmont: Ms. Poe, Ms. Williams, and Ms. Huff.
