Happy National Nurse Day Mrs. Maria!!!

Our teachers were spoiled today with a Nacho Bar 🌮🔥 Thank you Office staff and Strain-Japan PTO for providing a festive lunch!💛☺️🖤

This is what is happening in our state! The legislature is threatening to cut $207 million from public schools. For our district, this means $45,000. That is almost half of the revenue we plan to gain with our recent passage of Prop SOS! Meaning, we will not be able to fund higher salaries for our teachers. Engage with your Representative (Mike McGirl) and your Senator (Ben Brown)! Both of these gentlemen care about our little school. Let your voice be heard that defunding public education is not good for Missouri!

Kicking off Teacher Appreciation Week! 🖤👩‍🏫💛 A huge thank you to Coffee Brake for the AMAZING coffee, the Weiskopf/Lawson family for the sweet treats and thoughtful pens, Mrs. Dean’s family for the delicious blueberry muffins, and Strain -Japan PTO for the fresh fruit. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to our teachers. Thank you for helping us celebrate and honor the incredible work happening in our classrooms every day! #BestLittleSchoolEver #HappyDays
