MVR-III students and staff are stepping up to support families impacted by the flood! From lending a helping hand to offering supplies, our community is stronger together. Proud to see #MVNation coming together in a time of need. ❤️ #Service #Community #MVNation #DifferenceMakers @CharacterPlus @character.org
Coleman Warriors recently completed a service learning project for participants of the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight. Honor Flight is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates the veterans of our country by giving them a Day of Honor, which includes a flight to Washington D.C. Veterans tour the memorials, enjoy comradery, and are welcomed back after their flight home. To show appreciation for their service to our country, Coleman students wrote personalized letters and made pictures that were given to them during mail call on their return flight. The Veterans on this trip included members of the Korean and Vietnam Wars (photos courtesy of gslhonorflight.org). #MVNation
Our thoughts are with each of you as we navigate the flooding affecting our community. To prioritize the safety of our students and staff, the Meramec Valley R-III School District will be closed on Thursday, November 7th, and Friday, November 8th.
During this challenging time, we encourage our staff who are able or willing to volunteer to lend a hand to neighbors, help with sandbagging, or join cleanup efforts once the waters recede. Together, our community will emerge stronger by supporting one another.

Nike Elementary has been celebrating Missouri Day for over 20 years. This is a special day recognized in October to learn about our state's history. Students and staff did just that by participating in hands-on activities that pertain specifically to the Show-Me State! On Friday, October 25th, Nike Scouts got to rotate through several different displays and presentations that were set up throughout their school. Stations included: Flint-Knapping, Beekeeping, Candle Making, Butter Making, and Square Dancing. Students also learned about fire safety from the Pacific Fire Department and heard a presentation on native animals from a representative of Robertsville State Park. Of course, the day couldn't have ended without bluegrass music, some kettle corn for a snack, and even old-fashioned games being played! #GrowingTogether

Riverbend Middle School Ambassadors recently attended the Franklin County Teen Drug Summit. Hearing firsthand from people who have experienced the consequences of poor decisions, such as driving under the influence or struggling with addiction, had a powerful impact. Events like these not only emphasize the importance of making responsible choices but also demonstrate how those choices can have lasting effects on their own futures and on the people around them. It was a valuable experience for the students, helping them to reflect on the significance of their actions today in shaping their future outcomes.
