🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Dougherty's first grade class for winning January's Attendance Challenge! 🌟 As their reward, they enjoyed a fun movie time with popcorn. We’re so proud of their dedication and enthusiasm! Keep up the great work, first graders! 🎬🍿"
What a fun afternoon of excitement, energy, and friendly competition! Our Annual Staff vs. Student basketball games did not disappoint. Both games were intense and fast-paced (on the kids part anyway)!
This year, the staff came out on top in BOTH games — so bragging rights officially belong to the staff! 💪😄
Huge shoutout to our students for giving it their all and to everyone who came to cheer. These games are always a favorite tradition, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

This morning, we had some very special visitors at Howell Valley! 🐻💙
The Missouri State University–West Plains softball and rodeo students stopped by to greet our students as they arrived at school. From big smiles and high-fives to lots of excitement, it was a wonderful way to start the day—and we may have inspired a few future Grizzlies along the way!
Thank you to the MSU West Plains softball and rodeo students for taking the time to spend your morning with us and for being such positive role models for our kids. We truly appreciate you! ⭐
