• Improving students’ acquisition of important knowledge, skills and competencies;
• Monitoring the performance of Missouri’s education system;
• Empowering students and their families to improve their educational prospects; and

8th Grade Class Trip (continued with more pictures of our day)
Last Thursday, the 8th grade had a wonderful trip to Jefferson City to visit the Missouri State Capitol and State Penitentiary. Our tour guide at the Penitentiary said he has had a LOT of school groups over the years but that we were one of the best he has EVER had! As the 8th grade sponsor, I take great pride in that AND in these kids! 💙 Lion Nation!
The Bakersfield Lady Lions had a big day on the softball diamond Saturday beating Galena and Hurley to advance to the finals of the Galena tournament before falling to a tough Miller team. Keely Stevens had a grand-slam and Alexis McGhee added a home run against Hurley to secure the run rule victory and Miley Edens pitched all three games and did a great job on the mound. Congrats Lady Lions!
The 8th graders on the trip will arrive back to school at 7:30!
