📢 Prop M for MVR-III – No Tax Increase Bond 📢 is on the April 8th ballot and will allow MVR-III to build a net zero ready school, lowering energy costs and serving as an educational tool to teach students about sustainability practices, all while potentially saving money on utility bills to be allocated to other facilities across the district: 🧱Like the 2021 Zitzman addition, the new middle school would be built with ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) walls that provide superior energy efficiency and increased strength & durability. ⬇️The Zitzman addition is using 39% less energy per square foot than the national average for K-12 school buildings. ⚡Energy usage at ZE is 34% less than the previous structure, which is a direct energy cost savings to MVR-III! 🗳️ Prop M is a NO Tax Increase investment in our students and schools. Remember to Vote Tomorrow! #MVNation #MovingForwardTogether

Happy Sunday, Scouts!

Nike's Kindergarten classes spent several weeks learning about weather and meteorology. They explored how a meteorologist's job helps to keep everyone informed and safe. Students were able to culminate their learning with a visit from Ms. Melissa, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service - St. Louis. She read a weather story, shared some weather safety tools, and taught them about how she studies the weather. Prior to this visit, the teachers and students were curious about all things weather and prepared a list of questions that a meteorologist could better answer. By the end of their visit with Ms. Melissa, she had answered all of their questions and helped these kindergarteners become weather experts! #MVNation #GrowingTogether
