Robertsville Elementary 4th graders put their science learning into action! ๐ฌ
Students explored how humans have internal and external structures that work together to support survival. They took their learning a step further by creating paper models of human fingers to demonstrate how the structures inside our hands help control movement.
This hands-on activity brought science to life and gave students a fun way to see how the structures in our bodies work together!

We are grateful to our Franklin County Sheriffโs Deputies and Pacific Police Officers for spending time in our schools, meeting our students and staff, and becoming familiar with our buildings. ๐
These visits are about more than knowing the halls and classrooms. They are about building relationships and strengthening communication between our schools and the law enforcement professionals who help keep our students and staff safe.
Together, we are creating safer, stronger schools and communities.

Meet MVR-III alum Becky Barton, Class of 2011. ๐
Becky is an administrative assistant in Pacific, Missouri. She is most proud of graduating from college, becoming a wife, and now being a mother.
Becky says her time at MVR-III showed her how awesome the community is and made her realize she wanted to continue being a part of it even after graduating. Her experience playing high school softball also taught her how to be part of a team and work with others, skills she uses every day.
One of Becky's favorite memories is her very last at-bat during her senior year of softball, when she hit a home run over the fence.
Her advice for current students, in the words of Randy George: "Remember where you came from."
