Special to the Times Vedette
The Panorama PTO hosted its first Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Night on Saturday, April 5, drawing a strong turnout from families across the district. Held at the middle school gymnasium, the event brought together 56 dads and their daughters and 42 moms and their sons for an afternoon of fun, laughter and connection.
The day featured a variety of interactive stations, games, music, crafts and snacks. Smiles were everywhere as families spent meaningful one-on-one time together while participating in creative activities. Many parents expressed appreciation for the chance to slow down and enjoy dedicated time with their children in a fun and welcoming environment. The success of the evening was made possible by the support of community volunteers and donors.
Volunteers and contributors included Ashlie Allspach, Paige Anderson, Erin Bendickson, Mary Calmer, Heidi Clark, Emily Clouser, Alli Halsey, Terri Huebner, Jaimee Knorr, Nels Leo, Ginger Lindstrom, Cassie Martinson, Ali Mertens, Holliday Mertens, Jessica Peters, Nick Petersen, Donise Petersen, Abby Pudenz, Anabel Pudenz and friends, Erica Matthies, Allison Stanley, Alyssa Stanley, Andrea Stanley, Aria Stanley, Scott Stanley, Patricia Subbert, Lindsey Taylor, Nichole Uhlman and Hannah Vanhouten.
The Panorama PTO also thanks the Panorama Middle School Student Council, Panorama Elementary PE Department, Panorama art students, Farmers State Bank and Triple Berry Farms.

With such a strong showing of community spirit, the PTO is planning more events like this in the future.
