This year, the Meramec Valley R-III staff have selected Citizens Bank and the Pacific Fire District to be recognized at our annual District Celebration as the 2026 MVR-III Partnership Award recipients!
Since 2012, Citizens Bank has poured so much into our district. Through the School Spirit Debit Card Program, they have donated an incredible $58,644.60 to our schools. Beyond this financial generosity, their team consistently shows up for the MVR-III community by hosting student interns, volunteering in concession stands, and participating in the PHS annual hiring fair, and so much more.
The Pacific Fire District embodies Community and Integrity in every daily interaction. Whether they are showing off their trucks and equipment, pausing their day to answer a curious student's questions, or cheering on our students at the Pacific Intermediate track, their kindness is unmatched. They go above and beyond to engage with our students and staff.
Their dedication extends across the entire school district and broader community. From hosting annual Fire Protection education events for our young students to supporting the Bridge Foundation’s Back to School Bash and Shamwalk & Run, they are always there. You can count on them to bring energy to our annual Homecoming Parade and ensure safety at our home football games. The Meramec Valley R-III School District is grateful for the Pacific Fire District's unwavering partnership and heart for our kids.
