✍️ Learning Highlight: Students in Mrs. Poage’s English class recently engaged in a meaningful discussion about jobs and careers. They also took time to intentionally journal about their career goals and the steps needed to achieve them. What a fantastic way to kick off the year—already working toward those post-high school aspirations!

🚧 Hands-On Learning with Mr. Greening's Class 🚧
Today students in Mr. Greening's class got some hands-on experience with mini-excavator training! They faced the challenge of carefully removing a basketball from a PVC pipe without knocking it down and then placing it in a trash can.
This activity required precision, patience, and thoughtful stick movements. Great job, all! 🖤❤🏴☠️

📚 Today, Parents as Teachers Director Whitney Holliday and Assistant Superintendent Meghan Karr joined educators from across Missouri in Kansas City for a special event hosted by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). 🎉
They celebrated in recognition of the success of the Imagination Library of Missouri and encouraging more families to enroll their children. Since the program launched in November 2023, over 137,000 Missouri children have signed up! 👏 👏
⭐️ The Imagination Library has been widely researched, showing positive impacts on early childhood development and literacy skills. We're excited to continue to help inspire a love of reading in every child under five in Hannibal and across Missouri! ✨
