Mrs. England's first grade class earned a reward day where they could bring their favorite stuffies (aka reading buddies) to school. At breakfast, the first graders proactively asked Mrs. Chronister if their reading buddies could come to the library in the afternoon.




Congrats to the Sr. Beta Quiz Bowl team- Alex Burlison, Reid Hobbs, Rylan Romas, and Rylan White! These young men placed top 8 in preliminaries and will be competing at Beta State Convention for the opportunity to represent Missouri Beta at Nationals this summer.

Thank you to our students who attended the “Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Young Generations” presentation with Mark C. Perna. It was a powerful message about discovering purpose and building your future.
A special thank you to Marice Lawson and the Sikeston R-6 School District for the invitation and for hosting this opportunity.
Big takeaway: If the “Want To” is strong enough, the “How To” will come.
This message aligns directly with the Oran R-III Portrait of a Graduate work we are doing, as we strive to develop students who are purpose-driven, resilient, and prepared to take ownership of their future.
