Today, Superintendent Mr. Gemes and Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Deckard spent the day proudly representing our district alongside the Missouri Association of School Administrators (MASA) to advocate for the needs of rural schools.
They met with both of our state representatives and our state senator, ensuring that our voices are heard on critical education issues. They also sat through the House vote on open enrollment and listened to the Senate discussion on school protection officers—both key topics that impact our students, teachers, and communities.
We appreciate their dedication to making sure rural schools like ours have the support we need to thrive! 💚📚 #WildcatExcellence #AdvocatingForEducation #RuralSchoolsMatter #MASA #MissouriEducation
North & South Elementary students who met a special reading goal had the privilege to attend a literature festival at UCM yesterday. Way to go, kiddos! 📚👏🏼 #WildcatExcellence

The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree. Visit https://app.booksarefun.com/WarsawSNSchs to participate!
