Nike 3rd graders recently became taxonomists during a CKLA unit about Animal Classifications! These Scouts got to choose an animal and become experts by writing up their field research. They learned about the animal’s habitat, whether the animal is warm or cold-blooded, and if it is considered a vertebrate or invertebrate. Many fun and interesting facts were discovered as well. Students were very excited for their work to be displayed in the hallways and shared with parents, other students, and staff! #GrowingTogether

Pacific Intermediate 6th grade science classes built terrariums to demonstrate the water cycle, thanks to generous material donations from students & families. The clear plastic bottles show how water evaporates from the soil and plants, condenses on the walls, and then "rains" back down. #MVNation #GrowingTogether

Coleman Warriors recently completed a service learning project for participants of the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight. Honor Flight is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates the veterans of our country by giving them a Day of Honor, which includes a flight to Washington D.C. Veterans tour the memorials, enjoy comradery, and are welcomed back after their flight home. To show appreciation for their service to our country, Coleman students wrote personalized letters and made pictures that were given to them during mail call on their return flight. The Veterans on this trip included members of the Korean and Vietnam Wars (photos courtesy of gslhonorflight.org). #MVNation
Our thoughts are with each of you as we navigate the flooding affecting our community. To prioritize the safety of our students and staff, the Meramec Valley R-III School District will be closed on Thursday, November 7th, and Friday, November 8th.
During this challenging time, we encourage our staff who are able or willing to volunteer to lend a hand to neighbors, help with sandbagging, or join cleanup efforts once the waters recede. Together, our community will emerge stronger by supporting one another.
