Our 4th grade Student Navigators at Zitzman Elementary have been busy helping our youngest and newest Chiefs find their classrooms and learn their way around the school! 💜
We are so proud of these students for stepping up as leaders, lending a helping hand, and making sure everyone feels welcome as they begin the school year.

Students in Mrs. Mathes’ 4th grade class at Coleman Elementary put teamwork and perseverance into practice with a challenging puzzle activity! 🧩
Working in groups without knowing what the completed puzzle looked like, students had to communicate, collaborate, and work through challenges together. It was a hands-on way to learn that struggles can be part of the process, and that working together can help find a way forward.

At Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center, play is learning! 💡
Building foundational skills is most effective when learning is interactive and fun. Families can support this growth anywhere, whether you are counting trees at the park, spotting letters on road signs during your commute, or sorting snacks at home.
How do you bring learning into your everyday routines?

Miss Overman’s kindergarten class at Zitzman Elementary had a fun, hands-on way to work on their names while strengthening their fine motor skills!
Students used glue sticks and torn paper to create their names, combining creativity and learning in one engaging activity. 🤗

Meet MVR-III alum Dillon Horn, Class of 2010. 🎓
Dillon is a pastor and is most proud of becoming a credentialed minister and pastor.
Dillon says his time at MVR-III helped develop a fighting spirit and a never-give-up mentality. He learned to work hard for what he wanted and that he could accomplish anything he set his mind to.
One of Dillon's favorite memories is the District Championship football game against Bolivar during his senior year. Although the Indians did not win the game, the season marked the school's first winning football season in 25 years, thanks in part to Coach George Hinkle and his love for the game.
His advice for current students: APPLY YOURSELF!
