Football fans were not quite sure what to expect last Friday night when they entered Eagle Stadium as the threat of storms reigned in the area. As the night went on and the rain stayed away, the Eagles ran away from the Republic Tigers with a convincing victory. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our schools especially United Plumbing, Air Services, and SportClips Nixa!
Some exciting projects are well underway in the district. First is the Apex Activity Center at the high school. Crews at Killian Construction Company have been working hard, laying the groundwork for the multipurpose structure. Work is scheduled to wrap up in July. Meanwhile, on the east side of the district over at High Pointe, the storm shelter and building addition is more than halfway complete. Nesbitt Construction is the general contractor for this project.
The first day of school brings out many emotions for parents and students. From preschool parents letting go of their little ones for the first time to welcoming back students to seniors starting their final year of school, emotions ranged from sadness to excitement and everything in between. We hope everyone has a great school year!
Junior high students can take classes like archery in June, which aren't offered during the regular school year. This allows those entering their seventh-grade year to understand what school will be like in a new building. Administrators have noticed that the kids who take summer classes tend to ask fewer questions during the first few weeks of school and are better acclimated to the routine.
