Southern Boone Middle School

Our SBMS students were honored to receive personal letters from Missouri Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger following their participation in the “Letters to the Lieutenant Governor” writing project in Mr. Garrison’s classroom. Each student shared thoughtful reflections about America, patriotism, and the future of our country. We are proud of the effort, pride, and citizenship our students demonstrated through their writing.

Our talented Southern Boone Middle School art students did an outstanding job representing our district Thursday night at the Youth Fiber Arts Exhibition in Columbia! 🎨🧵

Students showcased their creativity through sewing, crocheting, knitting and needle felting—and their hard work truly stood out. ✂️🪡 Lucia Gares earned 1st place for the second year in a row 🥇, while Autumn Payne and Kaydence Pointer received honorable mentions 👏

Even more exciting, the work of these three students will be on display for the next 10 days at the Columbia Art League Gallery for the public to enjoy. 🖼️ We are incredibly proud of how these students represented Southern Boone! 🦅❤️🖤

📚🧠 Words Matter—and Our Eagles Proved It! 🦅❤️🖤
