Our students had a wonderful time with the Nutrition Program Associates from the Howell County MU Extension Office during summer school! Hilliary and Mia did an amazing job teaching our students about healthy eating, food safety, and essential food preparation skills.
Each lesson included a hands-on recipe that the children got to prepare-and enjoy! It was a fantastic learning experience that combined fun, food and valuable life skills.
A huge thank you to Hilliary and Mia for sharing your time, energy, and expertise with our kids. We appreciate you!










What a great way to end summer school!
Our middle schoolers wrapped up their last day with an adventurous trip to Rocky Falls-swimming, fishing, and climbing made for a fun-filled day of memories. Thank you to all the parents for allowing your students to attend summer school with us. We've had a wonderful few weeks of learning and laughter, and we can't wait to see everyone back in August! Enjoy the rest of your summer!











Our middle school students have been hard at work combining creativity with math!
As part of a h ands on project, they designed and built castles using 3-D figures-then put their math skills to the test by calculating the volume of each section to determine the total volume of their creations.
From imagination to equations, these students showed fantastic creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Great job everyone!




Bring tennis rackets today if you have one. No basketball practice tonight.

THANK YOU NADINE'S ICE CREAM!
We want to give a big thank you to Nadine's Ice Cream for the delicious treat she provided today during summer school! Our students and staff enjoyed every bite of the delicious ice cream and fun toppings...Thank you Nadine for helping us make summer school a little sweeter!










What a fun and educational day for Mrs. Dixon's class as they stepped back in time during their visit to LEADER! The students got to experience a bit of pioneer life - taking a scenic nature hike, drawing water from an old cistern, and even washing clothes on a washboard just like in the old days.
They enjoyed a picnic lunch and explored what life was like for early settlers. It was a day full of hands-on-learning, discovery, and adventure.





Our middle school summer school students had a great time at Dixon lake! The sun was shining, the fish were biting and the smiles were nonstop. From proud first catches to some impressive hauls, it was a day fill of fun, learning and making memories. Check out the photos to see all the action-we're proud of these kids and their enthusiasm!











What an incredible night-our 6th -8th graders had at the end- of-the- year Black and White Blowout! From games and a scavenger hunt to the photo booth and so much more the night was packed with fun. And thanks to a generous spread of snacks the energy never dipped.
A huge THANK YOU to all the parents for letting your kids join the fun, and an even bigger shoutout to our amazing staff and volunteers who made the whole event possible. We couldn't have done it without you!






There will be no basketball practice tonight as previously scheduled.
