If you haven't noticed, we are in need of a new sign for the high school. We have begun a fundraising campaign that also provides the opportunity for advertising! As a thank you for donations, businesses that donate $1000 or more will have their logo displayed on the sign for 1 year. $2000 donations will have advertising for 2 years, and $3000 donations will receive 3 years. Families and individuals are welcome to donate as well! The estimates we have sought for a new sign are $30,000 or more, and we are hoping to defray as much of the cost as possible with donations. For questions or to make a donation, contact Danielle Chastain in the high school office - 417-723-5300 ext 901.

Parents, community members, and school staff are welcome to join us tonight at 6:00 pm in the Crane School library (use the high school entrance) for an impactful documentary viewing and discussion to follow. Child sex trafficking is something we would like to believe isnt happening, but it can't continue to be ignored. It is also closer to us than we would like to believe. Tonight will be the opening to further discussions and education on the issue at another upcoming date. Refreshments provided.

Our Jr High and High School September Students of the Month are 7th grader Cooper Wilson and Junior Drew Chisam!
About Cooper, the nominating teacher shared: Cooper is always polite. He is on-task and a hard worker. He contributes a lot to the classroom conversation. He treats others kindly and has a positive attitude.
About Drew, the nominating teacher shared: Drew works so hard to keep a positive attitude, even when stressed, and she's a friend to everyone around her. She is a role model for her peers in yearbook and shows dedication in all her extracurriculars as well as classes. Drew has that "can do" attitude I adore to see in students of all ages!
Way to be awesome Cooper and Drew!!


Students in Ms. Grebel's high school Physical Science classes were practicing graphing today to prepare for collecting data from upcoming laboratory experiments. We appreciate Ms. Grebel and the standards to which she holds her students. They certainly rose to the challenge to meet her expectations today as she also incorporated a competition among her classes out of the lesson!
