Lady Lions Jamboree Tuesday, November 14!
Boys Jamboree THIS Friday night!
Students in Mrs Pickle's Sewing class recently completed a project with Mrs Jody's afternoon preschool class. After reading a book about a little boy whose best friend was the monster under his bed, the preschool students drew pictures of "their" monsters. The high school students then took those pictures and created stuffed versions of the monsters, which were presented to the little kids today. It was a fun activity for all involved!
The Cooking class completed in a Halloween bake-off and each group created a very unique dessert and drink. First place went to Tatiana and Saydie. Holly and Josie placed second, but it was a hard decision for the judges to make! "Great job" to all the students!

Dear Parents,
A couple of weeks ago, an email was sent to all parent email addresses on file about our district taking part in the Missouri School Climate and Culture Survey. Results from this survey will be used as part of the school improvement review during the 2023-2024 academic year. As part of this process, parents, students, and school employees are asked to voluntarily answer surveys regarding programs and services available to students.
Please take a few minutes to answer the survey at the link provided. Responses from all parents will be anonymously summarized and will become part of a report for the school district. The school district will use this report in the development of school improvement efforts.
If you have more than one child in school, you will receive more than one survey link. Please complete a survey for each individual child. Do not complete one survey for multiple children. The surveys will be processed so that school officials receive reports about each building in the district.
The questionnaires contain demographic and opinion questions. You have the option not to respond to any item or not to complete a survey at all.

We are so happy to announce that beginning next week, Tuesday, October 24, our bus routes will go back to the same as last year! The office will be contacting the students who were previously on Mr. David's bus to remind you of pick up times. If you were previously (last year) on any other route, your pick up time will go back to the same as last year. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition back to a fully staffed bus driver plan.
