On Tuesday, April 7, our community will vote on Proposition S—a $43 million general obligation bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District. 🗳️

This measure WILL NOT raise property taxes when approved and will provide the funds for improvements at all of our campuses and the construction of a new middle school to replace Pacific Intermediate.

The proposal is the result of a multi-year effort by the Board of Education and the administration to identify solutions to our most pressing facility needs while not placing additional burden on property taxpayers.

Learn more about Prop S and find answers to frequently asked questions: https://www.mvr3bond.org

Curiosity is shining bright in Mrs. Canada’s 2nd grade classroom at Coleman Elementary! 💎

After several students shared their interest in crystals, including a few proud “crystal collectors,” Mr. Lane visited the class to share pieces from his personal collection. As a world traveler, he explained where he discovered each crystal and shared fascinating facts about its unique features with students.

Students were especially amazed to learn about the Cave of Crystals, home to a selenite crystal as large as a school bus. They had a blast exploring, asking questions, and carefully holding the crystals as they deepened their learning! ✨
