5th graders got to be engineers as we learned from MSU science pre-service teachers. The goal was to protect an egg as it was dropped - some of us were successful! Thank you to Dr. Wood’s science class! We had an egg-cellent time!
Up next is Mollie Scher for our senior spotlight! She will be attending Drury University to study Music Therapy. Thank you for being part of our Bluejay Family!
Abigail Schultz is our next senior spotlight! She will be attending Truman State University to study Biochemistry. Thank you for being such a big part of our Bluejay Family!
We are so proud of them!

Today we got to celebration cultures around the world at our annual Culture Fair!

A BIG thank you to Mr. Hammerschmidt for measuring and cutting each one out.
We will use these on Monday to help secure our glasses in place.
First Grade Fun!
Missouri State University Bears baseball player Dylan Leach visited with the first grade class today in honor of Greyson Newman’s student of the week celebration. Dylan is from Carthage, Texas and plays catcher. Students asked questions and then Dylan read the students a baseball themed book called Dino-Baseball by Lisa Wheeler. Greyson gave each student a small baseball and Rice Krispy treats decorated like baseballs for a sweet treat. Dylan presented Greyson with an autographed baseball.
Students shared with Dylan about an Inspiring American they have learned about this week William Hoy. Hoy was the first major league baseball player who was deaf who played for the Washington Nationals. Thank you Greyson for such a fun surprise visitor.
