Panther Fun Run
Panorama Elementary Families! Please hear us say a HUGE “Thank you!” to our students, staff, and donors for this incredible Panther Fun Run fundraiser.
Here are our final stats:
We raised $44,000 for Music/Art/Engagement activities, classroom resources, school beautification projects, buses for field trips, and playground/P.E. This will directly impact our students and staff!
We celebrated our community coming together and created unforgettable memories at our Panther Fun Run event.
Thank you for your support of our school. We’re grateful for our Panorama community!

Elevo PE Program
This week’s games of the week are Hand Hockey and In 'N' Out Ball, and the focus is grit. Grit is having passion and perseverance for long-term goals. It isn’t necessarily talent, it isn’t luck, and it isn’t wanting something really bad, but instead it’s about having a goal you want to achieve so badly that you’ll do anything to achieve it. Without grit, it’s harder to meet our goals. You might feel like giving up when things don’t go as planned, and eventually might give up on your goals completely.
College Awareness Month
Did you know that October is College Awareness month? At OUSD, we are excited to prepare our students with a college focus mindset at every level.
