Pumpkin Math in Action! 🔢🍂🎃
Our Panthers put their estimating and counting skills to the test with a fun, hands-on pumpkin activity!
Students started by estimating how many seeds were inside two different pumpkins, adjusting their predictions as they began counting. Working in groups, they organized the seeds into sets of 10 and discovered that the two pumpkins contained a whopping 1,534 seeds! 🎃
Along the way, students also learned about the life cycle of pumpkins and their different parts. What a fun way to combine math, science, and a little fall fun! 🧡🖤

Happy Parents as Teachers Day! Join us in celebrating home visitors, parents, caregivers, and childhood champions.
Our dedicated PAT staff currently serves over 171 families and 250 children!
Parent Educators work with families to support and empower households—providing evidence-based information on child development, family well-being, and parenting topics such as nutrition, safety, routines, discipline, attachment, health, and sleep.
Each year, they complete over 250 developmental screenings to ensure children are meeting important milestones. When additional support is needed, PAT staff help connect families with valuable community resources. They also partner with local childcare facilities and preschools to ensure families have access to what they need.
During the weekly playgroup (Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m.), more than 40 children and their parents, guardians, and grandparents enjoy playing, singing, dancing, and sharing a snack together!
Each month, PAT also hosts creative family activity nights—including the ever-popular Truck Rally each May, which drew over 1,200 attendees this year! On November 17th, families will be able to meet Bluey and Friends for a night of Keepy Uppy, painting, building, creating and many more surprises!
PAT services are free and open to everyone in the community. To learn more, call 573-769-2191.
Superintendent Jason Harper shared, “Parents as Teachers plays an integral part of early childhood education in our school district. They give families the tools needed to enhance learning leading into preschool and consistently provide our children with meaningful learning experiences.”
Thank you Kathy, Bonnie, Jenifer, Abigail, & Raney for all you do for our families, our school and community!

Each student selected an animal, studied its skeletal structure, and created a full-body model of its skeletal system! This hands-on project gave students a creative way to explore how bones provide structure, support, and movement for different animals.
Can you guess the animals based on their skeleton??? 🦴💀
