Pacific High School DECA students represented our community during Missouri DECA Legislation Day at the State Capitol! 👏
During their visit, students met directly with state representatives to share the importance of DECA as a Career and Technical Student Organization and to help ensure legislators are informed about the program and the Perkins Funds that support it.
This annual opportunity helps students build confidence, advocacy skills, and a deeper understanding of civic engagement. 🏛️

Our Pacific Intermediate Student Ambassadors, alongside club leaders Ms. Speicher and Ms. Stumborg, wanted to do something special to help spread love throughout our school community. 💕
They created a “Spread Love” bulletin board, on which students wrote postcards sharing simple, meaningful ways to show kindness and care for others. From small acts of encouragement to thoughtful gestures, the board quickly filled with reminders of how each of us can make a difference.
This display is a beautiful reflection of what it means to be positive, supportive members of our school community every single day. 💌

Happy Valentine's Day, #MVNation! We hope you take a moment today to appreciate the special people around you. 💖

At Robertsville Elementary, Mrs. Chickering’s 2nd grade class enjoyed a special literacy experience with author Peter H. Reynolds as he read “Say Something.”
Students explored the power of their voices by creating statues and using paintbrushes to express their ideas in creative ways.
To bring the message home, each student made their own megaphone as a reminder that they can use their voice to “say something.” 📣

At Coleman Elementary, small group counseling sessions are using brick-based activities with LEGO materials to support emotional awareness and regulation. 💜
In this lesson, students designed structures to represent an emotion of their choice and shared how their creations reflected those feelings. The activity encouraged thoughtful conversations about emotional regulation, dysregulation, and how emotions can look and feel different for everyone.
