Kaylee Stafford competed at the Tiger Town Invitational in Festus, MO on April 11 and at the Grandview Invitational in Hillsboro, MO on April 13.
At Festus, she was able to take 4th place out of 30 girls in shot put! Discus was tough for several girls that day, but she was still able to take 17th out of 30!
At Grandview, she was able to bring home a 3rd place medal in shot put, and she took 5th place in discus!
In order to protect her shoulder for shot put and discus, she and her coaches (and mom) have decided that javelin is over for the season! We don't want to take any chances!
She has 3 regular season meets remaining before her Class 1 District Meet on Saturday, May 6, 2023 in Scott City, MO!
Go Kaylee!!!





Congratulations to our 3rd quarter students with perfect attendance!

The high seas have never looked more beautiful.....or been so smart! We’re sailing through our adventure to earn as many books as possible for our students, and we’re having fun along the way. Today, we announced the winner of the iPad! Congratulations, Evelyn Francis! Friends, family, alumni, and community members can still donate until Sunday evening—the more donations, the more books that go home with students.
