Mr. Gilcrease and Green Team... we are SO PROUD of your work! “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe,” reminded prominent naturalist and conservationist John Muir in 1911.

It’s a Sunny Saturday morning... get outside and get some sunshine in your soul! ☀️ Let’s have some fun Tribe 💜 This is a great way to get outside for some colorful fun! Chalk The Walks is all about spreading joy, optimism and inspiration through the magical power of sidewalk chalk. The idea is simple: write happy messages and pictures, have fun and spread some joy while you’re at it. A great way to show appreciation to other “helpers” in our world!

Truman Pizza Hut Night is TONIGHT! Support Local #PTownStrong #TribeLife #MVNation 💜

Good evening! Today, following a meeting with Franklin County school leaders, the health department, and county leaders, all Franklin County superintendents are collectively announcing an extended school closure. Since Meramec Valley is on spring break this week, the closure will begin on Monday, March 23, and will preliminarily end Friday, April 3. During this time, all school activities, including athletic and extracurricular practices and competitions, will be canceled for the duration of the school closure. A link to the full press is provided here https://www.mvr3.k12.mo.us/article/212021?org=mvriii. I know you will have many questions related to learning during the time of closure. District leaders will be meeting over the next few days to finalize those plans. Additional information will be sent to parents no later than Thursday of this week. It will provide details regarding learning experiences, meal availability, and general practices to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We know that closing our schools will have a significant impact on our families, but we also believe that strong, urgent action must be taken to prevent the spread of this disease and to protect lives. We thank our community for their support and partnership in this effort. Again, your patience and understanding are appreciated. John Mulford, Ed.D. Superintendent Meramec Valley R-III School District
