Meet MVR-III alum Allison Daves, Class of 2016. ๐
Allison recently earned her specialist degree from Northwest Missouri State University and serves as a K-12 Special Education teacher. She credits her experiences at MVR-III with helping prepare her for life after graduation by teaching responsibility, time management, communication, problem-solving, perseverance, and the importance of working well with others.
One of Allison's favorite memories is the interlude after a pep assembly, a moment that always brought students together and created lasting memories.
Her advice for current students is simple: Enjoy High School. Make memories, try new things, show your school spirit by attending games, and make the most of every opportunity.

Pacific Intermediate's hallways turned into a flight test zone during a hands-on STEM challenge! ๐
Students designed, constructed, launched, and graphed paper rockets before analyzing their flight data. Using what they learned, they made strategic modifications such as adjusting rocket length, adding fins, and testing different materials to improve performance and maximize distance.
By combining math, science, and problem-solving, students explored the engineering design process while discovering how small changes can lead to big results!
