Wonderful night spent listening to the Marmaton Valley Elementary students singing at their Christmas concert. Thank you Mrs Allee and all others involved for all you do for the students.
On December 7th we had the privilege to bring one of our own back in to talk to our students 6-12. Kurt Jackson did an excellent job talking with all of the students about mental weight and dealing with all of the pressures that come with being a teenager. The students loved him and I would definitely recommend bringing him in to talk to any group of kids that you have. Thank you Kurt for all that you do for.
Huge Congratulations to senior Zach Allee who played at the Bicknell Center in Pittsburg this past Saturday. He was awarded 2nd chair in the Southeast Kansas Music Educators Association District Band.

The 4th grade took the opportunity on their own today at lunch to thank three Army recruiters who were on the campus talking with our high school students.
After lunch the recruiters surprised the kids with a visit to the classroom! They told the class all about their jobs in the Army and what it takes to be able to join the military. They answered questions and just enjoyed a visit with the kids.
