Ms. Gretchen Thomas, teacher at High Pointe Elementary, was able to secure a grant 👏 from NEF to install a sensory 🦶✋ path in one of the school’s 🏫 hallways. 

This is an excellent 🎉 opportunity for students who need a little break from the day to work on their fine motor skills and to get out some built up energy 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️. 

The school also plans to build a sensory path outside as well. 
End Of Year Project Makes A Difference
Logan Callaway collected crayons 🖍️🖍️ and coloring books to donate to children in hospitals. This week, he was finally able to finish up his project by donating 1,116 😳 coloring book sets to the hospitals 🎊🎊!
Nixa Football | 10.2 | @ Ozark High School
Tickets for Friday’s football game vs. Ozark will be only sold at the gate at this point in time. Gates open at 5:45 p.m. and Nixa fans should use the north or south-east entrance. Currently, Ozark also has no plans to limit capacity. If this changes or tickets will be sold ahead of time, we will update you.

Here are the options for watching the game:
  1. Go watch Nixa Football live at B&B Theaters. We have partnered with B&B Theaters to show Nixa football live in their theater on Friday night. See the attached flyer for details. There is a $5 entry fee and concessions will benefit Care to Learn Nixa when you mention that to them, so help support Care to Learn if you go.  Click HERE to go to the B&B Website
  2. Watch the game live on CityLinkTV or our Youtube Channel.
