We are THRILLED to be back in the swing of things as we celebrate our first group of RepMO Hero Nominees for the year! As a reminder, each month the district honors employees who go above and beyond the call of duty. This time around we are celebrating classified staff members. Thanks to each of these individuals for their many contributions to those we serve! #repmoproud
We'd like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Hood United Methodist Church in Republic for their very generous contribution! After obtaining a grant to help promote literacy, the church donated $11,000 to our district. These funds will purchase e-books in the RMS and RHS libraries along with additional Chromebooks for elementary schools. Their generosity is so incredibly appreciated! #repmoproud

These Lyon learners are ROCKING their phonemic awareness, phonics and word work lessons! These activities help our students have foundational tools to become super strong readers and writers. Kudos to our teachers for the great job they are doing across the district implementing these practices! #repmoproud
OCTOBER 6:
CHECK THESE LITTLE LEADERS OUT! Sweeny Leader, Amelia and her family started an effort they are calling "Repmore" in which they are completing service projects to bless others in our community. Amelia and friends Chloe, Zander and Elaina have been working hard over the last few months putting together "blessing boxes" that they've delivered to various school buildings in our district for our employees. These boxes include items to help keep our teammates healthy like bottles of hand sanitizer along with some yummy goodies and sweet notes. These little leaders are making a big impact and we couldn't be more #repmoproud to celebrate and thank them! They encourage us all to #DoRepMORE for those in our community! You can follow their page at https://www.facebook.com/DoRepMORE.

SEPTEMBER 24:
Earlier this week Price Elementary hosted a send-off parade for Macy Cendroski, a first grade student who was recently diagnosed with cancer. It was quite a special site to see the entire school lined up along J.R. Martin Park road to cheer Macy on as she left to continue her treatment out of town. Please join us in wishing sweet Macy well during this time. We can't wait to have her back at school soon!
