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.

📱 In today’s digital world, it’s important to set clear, healthy boundaries around social media use for children. Helping kids manage their time online promotes healthier habits, encourages meaningful connections, and protects their well-being. Here’s why setting boundaries is essential:
✨ Improves Mental Health & Well-Being - Limiting screen time reduces exposure to negative influences, online pressure, and distractions, helping kids stay focused and emotionally balanced.
✨ Promotes Digital Responsibility - Teaching children about appropriate online behavior and privacy helps build a strong foundation for responsible digital citizenship.
Let's keep #GrowingTogether, #MVNation!
