Just a quick reminder that McDonald County Schools are out for Spring Break from March 20-24!
๐๐ผ๐ Take some time to relax, have fun, and recharge! ๐๐๏ธ๐ด
Weโll see you back in class on Monday, March 27! ๐๐จโ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ซ ๐ธ๐๐


๐ฃ Happy #MotivationalMonday everyone!
๐ฅ Let's start the week with this inspiring reminder from William Butler Yeats: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." ๐ฅ
We hope this quote inspires you to approach your learning with a passion and curiosity that ignites a lifelong love for education. ๐๐
๐ค Remember, every day is an opportunity to learn and grow, so let's make the most of it! ๐


๐ ๐ Seeking out the best!
Itโs what recruiters from McDonald County Schools are doing as current teachers are retiring and others are moving from the district. ๐ซ
The team recently gathered several top prospects from the Missouri Southern State University Education Career Fair. ๐งโ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ซ
Itโs just part of a push by school leaders to attract educators who are passionate, dedicated, and motivated to make sure our students are provided with the highest quality education. ๐๐
Hereโs a look at a story by KODE/KSN TV highlighting McDonald County at the career fair: https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/mssu/learning-about-teaching-opportunities-at-the-education-career-fair/
Just another way McDonald County Schools make a difference in the lives of every child, every day, whatever it takes! โค๏ธ๐ค






๐ฃ How about a big shout-out to some real heroes in McDonald County Schools? ๐ฆธ๐ช
Wednesday, February 22 is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! ๐๐๐
With more than 420 square miles in the school district, our bus drivers travel hundreds of thousands of miles each year to get our students safely transported to and from school. ๐๐ซ
To all our dedicated bus drivers, we want to say a big THANK YOU for everything you do. Your commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is truly valued and appreciated. ๐โค๏ธ
Let's give a round of applause to all the hardworking and caring school bus drivers out there who make a difference in every child, every day, whatever it takes!! ๐๐๐


๐ Hereโs a new way to look at measuring up! ๐
๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ซ ๐งโ๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ Students in Mrs. Ramseyโs second-grade class at Anderson Elementary made a 1,000-link chain that was longer than the entire class lying down! โ๏ธ
Not only was it a blast for the students, but it also helped them learn important math and number concepts. By measuring, counting, and manipulating the chain, the students practiced their understanding of length, distance, and numeracy. ๐งฎ๐
We're proud of their hard work and can't wait to see what they'll achieve next! ๐๐
Just another way McDonald County Schools - and its teachers - make a difference in every child, every day, whatever it takes! โค๏ธ๐ค
