May 4–8, we are celebrating the incredible people who help make Puxico R-8 a place our students are proud to call home. From classrooms to cafeterias, buses to ballfields, offices to hallways — our staff truly does it all.
This year’s theme is:
Outlast • Outplay • Outshine
Throughout the week, we will recognize the dedication, heart, teamwork, and commitment shown daily by our:
Bus Drivers
Maintenance & Technology Staff
Paraprofessionals & Aides
Teachers & Instructional Staff
Aramark Food Service
SEMO Cleaners
Nurse & Counselors
Athletic Director
Office Staff & District Administrators
Our staff members are the true “survivors” of another successful school year, and we cannot thank them enough for the difference they make in the lives of our students and families.
We also want to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing community, local supporters, and sponsors who continually support our schools, our students, and our staff. Your encouragement, kindness, donations, and involvement help make Puxico special. 
We encourage our community to join in the fun with us all week long:
