Robertsville Elementary tribes learned valuable lessons on collaboration & resilience during a recent cup tower challenge! The cross-grade team members stacked 1 cup at a time, emphasizing teamwork & how to bounce back when (inevitably!) towers tumble. #MVNation #GrowingTogether
Coleman Elementary's Counselor teamed up with PHS DECA to support and inspire students in preparation for state testing. PHS students created a poem with affirmations focused on prioritizing sleep, healthy eating, & self-regulation, and then used their skills and the program's equipment to press the design onto pillowcases. An assembly was held, complete with a few different Survivor-like challenges that symbolized these priorities, and the uplifting pillowcases were gifted to each 3rd & 4th grader afterwards. Check out the "Thriver" assembly fun! #MVNation #GrowingTogether

Nearly 25 local businesses and professionals took time from their busy schedules to visit Riverbend Middle School last Friday, sharing their knowledge and expertise during the 3rd Annual RMS Skills Day event. This is an amazing opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience and hear first-hand insights in areas like athletics, automotive, carpentry, dentistry, emergency services, environmental careers, food service and more.
