🏆 MVR-III Transportation has been proudly recognized for 13 years of MO State Highway Patrol Fleet Excellence for Safety. This is a no-tax increase investment to continue providing safe, reliable transportation to our students.

Students in 3rd & 4th grade have been making and decorating clay coil pots in Art class! Some of our Nike Scouts decided to turn them into flowerpots. With the help of our Art teacher, Mrs. Patterson, these kiddos planted some Spider Plants. What a great idea!







Kindergarten Round-Up was a SUCCESS! Thank you to the families that attended and got to tour our building, meet teachers, check out a school bus, and even enjoy a sweet treat. We are so excited for these kiddos to join our Nike Scout Family next school year!











KSDK News visited Zitzman Elem to interview MVR-III Superintendent Dr. Schwierjohn about our storm shelter, utilized by over 75 residents during the recent severe weather. Visit bit.ly/mvr3news for more info, and watch the KSDK video at bit.ly/mvr3shelter. #MVNation
