Next up, they’re preparing to attend the HOSA State Leadership Conference in March.

Sixth grade Extended Learning Program students recently began sharing their Genius Hour research projects! 🙌

Throughout this experience, students selected a topic of interest, researched guiding questions, pitched their ideas to their teacher and classmates, and created a final project to showcase their learning.

One student explored the origins and development of LEGO bricks, sharing insights into how they have evolved. After the presentation, students designed their own LEGO creations, gave them names, described their purpose, and explained how they met the given parameters.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to a high rate of illness among both students and staff, the Missouri Valley Community School District and Little Reds will be closed tomorrow, Friday, February 13th. Unfortunately, we do not have enough substitutes to cover our teachers and support staff who are ill. With no school scheduled on Monday, February 16, this will give our cleaning staff a good amount of time to disinfect.

We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the health and safety of our school community. We hope this break allows our students and staff time to recover.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Gochenour
