Happy National Grandparents Day! We’re thinking about all the ways grandparents make life better: the wisdom they share, the comfort they provide, and the love they give so freely.
To the grandparents in our community, thank you for everything you mean to our students! 🤗

Today we pause to remember the events of September 11, 2001, a day that united our nation in grief and, ultimately, in strength.
Twenty-five years later, we honor those we lost and carry their memory forward with gratitude and respect. 🇺🇸

Heroes in the Halls celebrates the people who make Oran special by sharing the stories, memories, and relationships that have kept members of the Oran family here through the years! ⭐️
Meet Cheryl Woodfin, a junior high math teacher in her fourth year at Oran. For Ms. Woodfin, it’s the students, administration, and staff who have made Oran a place she wants to stay.
“What makes our school community special is that people are willing to go the extra mile to help others.”
One memory that stands out is watching last year’s 7th grade math students work hard and increase their average MAP score by 31%. Their determination and effort made a lasting impression on her.

Our 6th grade students are learning responsibility and respect through a meaningful daily tradition. As they raise the flag in front of the school each morning, students learn what it represents, why it is displayed, and how to properly handle and fold it. 🇺🇸
This daily responsibility gives students a hands-on opportunity to learn the significance of this important tradition.

Throughout the 2026-27 school year, our “Did You Know?” series will take a closer look at the numbers behind the Oran R-III budget and the funding challenges rural public schools face. 📚
Did you know that school funding can change from year to year, even after a district budget is developed?
Oran R-III receives approximately:
➡️ 50% of revenue from local sources
➡️ 40% from state sources
➡️ 10% from federal sources
Missouri uses a formula to determine state funding. One important part of that formula is the State Adequacy Target (SAT), which represents the calculated cost of educating one student. Funding is also influenced by student attendance, local costs, and the amount of revenue generated locally through property taxes.
Missouri’s current State Adequacy Target (SAT), which represents the calculated cost of educating one student, is $6,749. The state provides Oran R-III approximately $4,631 per student, with local revenue helping support the difference.
Over the past two years, Oran R-III has experienced approximately $225,000 in reduced state funding. Meanwhile, major expenses such as salaries, benefits, transportation, and facilities remain.
Stay tuned for more school funding information!
