🏀💛 Happy National Coaches Day! 💛🏀 Today we celebrate two incredible leaders who go above and beyond for our Pleasant Hill Panthers Coach Weaver and Coach Amber! Coach Weaver, our boys’ basketball and track coach, brings dedication, energy, and heart to every practice and game. He pushes his athletes to be their best on and off the court, modeling hard work, teamwork, and Panther pride. Coach Amber, our girls’ basketball coach, leads with passion, positivity, and care inspiring her team to grow in confidence, skill, and sportsmanship. Her love for her players and our school community shines through in everything she does. Thank you, coaches, for all the time, effort, and heart you pour into our programs. You make a lasting impact on our students, and Pleasant Hill is lucky to have you! 💛🐾

🏀 We need YOU to help make this basketball season a success! 🏀

Our Lady Panthers and Panthers are ready to hit the court, and we’re looking for volunteers to help with:
✨ Concessions
✨ Admission Gate
✨ Scoreboard
✨ Scorebook

It’s a great way to support our athletes and be part of the game-day excitement! Remember, if your child is an athlete, it is a requirement that you volunteer for a minimum of 2 games throughout the season!

📅 Volunteer for one game or the whole season—every bit helps!

Give a Dog a D/d?! Our Kindergarten Panthers are excited to become readers so they are working on learning to identify and name letters and their sounds. We do this through songs, activities, crafts, and more! In this activity, students identified each D/d and glued it on their paper to “feed” the dog. We love learning about the alphabet! #phillpanthers

This student showed some Panther pride during our first Panther Family time! He volunteered to read to his peers and did so with confidence and pride! Thanks buddy for being a leader! Keep it up! #phillpanthers

Our Kindergarten Panthers are working on counting groups of objects. In “Dunk-It,” we count the total number of dots on a domino and place it in the cup with the matching number. Partners take turns until the whole set is done. This is an easy game that can be played at home, too! We are looking forward to learning new math centers and games this year! #phillpanthers
