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. It is made possible by the efforts of our incredible staff and our equally incredible & supportive community. Thank you for giving back to the students of #MVNation! #GrowingTogether

PreK students at Nike Elementary have been learning about farm life! Animals, equipment, and hard work have been some of our main topics. After reading The Little Red Hen story, these Scouts learned about the importance of collaboration: working together to achieve a goal. A special treat was had to celebrate - bread & butter! Ms. Katrina worked to mix ingredients and bake our bread, and PreK students all took turns shaking heavy whipping cream to make the butter. It was delicious! #MVNation #GrowingTogether

Coleman Elementary Kindergarten & 1st grade students had a special guest reader this week. Brooke Mizner, former Coleman student & current PHS Junior, came to read her award-winning story, "Mr. Prickles and Whiskers: An Unlikely Friendship." Brooke attends Four Rivers and is enrolled in the Education Rising Program, where she is currently studying to be a school teacher. The story that she wrote and illustrated was entered into the Ed-Rising State Competition in March, and she won first place. This summer, Brooke will travel to Florida, where her book will compete at the National Level. Congratulations Brooke on your great success. You should be very proud, and #MVNation is proud of you! #GrowingTogether
