Miller County R-III School District

The FFA Banquet was held tonight and it was a wonderful evening celebrating the many accomplishments of our students. From service awards and leadership recognition to retiring officers, new officers, and honorary members, the night highlighted the strength of our National FFA Organization chapter. Presenting retiring jackets to the seniors is always a bittersweet moment as we honor their dedication and the memories they have made through FFA. A special thank you to Mrs. White for putting it all together and creating such a meaningful evening to recognize the FFA organization and its members.

The Tuscumbia Senior Class would like to give a big THANK YOU to The Home Depot in Osage Beach for generously donating charcoal for the Senior BBQs, and to the employees who kindly provided each student with a bag of goodies for Senior Trip. Your generosity and support mean so much to our seniors as they celebrate these special memories together. Thank you for investing in our students and community!

This summer, one of our projects is a facelift for our gym. We are having the floor sanded, repainted, and sealed, and we would like our community's input on the design. This should last for 15-20 years, so we want it to be something our community, parents, and students are proud of. Please look at the two mock-ups and let us know what you think about the design elements--we can combine them in any way--we don't have to choose one complete design over the other. We will not be including the volleyball court lines on the final design.
Here is the link to the form to vote: https://forms.gle/j2fN58hgnnB1cRAH6
Voting will close at 3:00 p.m. this Friday, May 1st, and we'll let you know the results and share the new mock-up the next week!
