Our high school child development class partnered with Little Reds to deliver fun and educational preschool lessons! The high schoolers led activities on colors, ocean animals, sorting, the five senses, and more.

It was a great experience for both our big and little learners! 🎨 #MVPride

Our 1st grade students had an unforgettable day at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, thanks to the support of our amazing PTO.

On World Teachers Day, we honor the educators who answer this call with passion and purpose! 👏

Thank you to Funeral Director Andrea Rief for visiting with our students to discuss mortuary science. Students learned about the day-to-day responsibilities of a funeral director, as well as the embalming and cremation processes. The funeral home she works for also offers cremation services for pets! 💫

Juniors and seniors in anatomy teamed up with 6th graders for “Saving Sam,” a hands-on challenge to get a gummy lifesaver onto a gummy worm using only paper clips! 🪱

This fun activity helped students practice teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Science Club students took part in a special project at DeSoto Bend National Wildlife Refuge, volunteering to help tag monarch butterflies with Monarchwatch.org. 🦋

Students learned how to safely tag butterflies and identify males and females by wing markings. Their efforts will help scientists track migration patterns and protect monarch populations. In total, they caught and tagged 44 monarchs!

Health science students had the opportunity to learn from Missouri Valley EMS and CHI Health paramedics and EMTs last week. They explored life-saving equipment used in the field and toured ambulances to better understand emergency medicine. 🚑

We’re grateful for the time these professionals spent teaching our students about this vital role in health care!

Mrs. Williams, our school psychologist, visited the health science classroom last week to lead students through QPR training and certify them in this important intervention. ♥️

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—three steps anyone can learn to help prevent suicide and support those in crisis.

We were excited to welcome Dr. Marissa Fouts to speak with our health science students!

She shared her journey through physical therapy school, the many roles she has held, and her experience starting her own practice: Proven Physical Therapy.

Students gained valuable insight into the field of physical therapy, including the importance of balance, the wide scope of PT, and specialties like pelvic floor health and dry needling.

Thank you, Dr. Marissa, for inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals! 🙌

Our 7th and 8th grade Literacy students had the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank Interactive at the Missouri Valley Public Library. It was a meaningful learning experience that helped bring history to life for our students! 📚
