🚍✨ School Bus Evacuation Drills ✨🚍
This morning, all of our kindergarten through 6th grade students participated in rear-door bus evacuation drills. 🚌 These drills are an important part of our commitment to keeping students safe, prepared and confident in emergency situations. Practicing these drills helps students understand the procedures and know how to respond calmly in the event of an emergency. 🚨
Regular practice ensures that students and staff are ready for any situation—whether it's on the bus, in the classroom or anywhere on campus. Thank you to our transportation team and staff for their help with today's bus evacuation drills.




🐣 We are excited to share that our Kindergarten team received a $500 mini grant from the Missouri Farm Bureau Foundation! 🎉 This generous contribution will be used to purchase incubators, warming lights and educational books, allowing our students to explore and learn about the life cycle of chickens. 🐥
Thank you, Missouri Farm Bureau Foundation, for supporting our young learners and helping us bring hands-on learning experiences to the classroom!✨

🎉 Southern Boone Homecoming is just around the corner! 🎉
Check out the schedule of events and the parade route for next week’s festivities!
📅 Mark your calendars, get your Southern Boone gear ready and let’s celebrate our Eagle Pride together! 🦅🔴⚫
