We are proud of you Indian Nation! Not much else needs to be said. We could end the post there. Read on if you wish though. A huge thank you to Brian Bess and Three Rivers Community College for allowing us to play at the Libla Family Sports Complex for our 2024 Quarterfinals contest. From the District’s perspective, we want to give a huge shout out to our school community. Yesterday, for both teams 1881 tickets were purchased for that game. It was awesome to have the opportunity to watch this team, these cheerleaders, and these coaches play in this quarterfinals game. Our school community provided love and encouragement when they needed it and we can all say that we enjoyed this ride. A few more thank yous, we are not intentionally excluding anyone, so please help us by adding them to the comments. We are thankful for healthy kids, safe travels throughout the season, and so many great experiences. We appreciate the picture takers and those that share them, we appreciate the streaming services, radio coverage, and media coverage. Our kids have felt like local celebrities this year. Appreciation also goes to the game officials/referees. Without you, these games aren’t possible. Thank you! Wow, now our awesome players. The summer work, early practices, showing up when school isn’t in session, program dedication, and your desire to keep developing skills through your work in the off season, shined through this year. Thank you for letting us enjoy the success that you all have created as a team. We can’t wait for next year. To the cheerleaders, thank you for keeping the crowd motivated and engaged. Your talented jumps, stunts, and tumbling are appreciated and we know it takes a lot of work and courage to do that in front of such a large group of people. To the ball coaches and cheer sponsors, where to begin? We know you’ve spent more time with these kids than your own family this season. We know you’ve sacrificed time away from family events and dedicated that to these programs. Thank you for the summer programs, the extra time, and the continued work. We also appreciate the teamwork you all do as a team with Coach Copling for extra opportunities. We appreciate his dedication to help all programs develop too. The early gym shooting and extra work has added to this success. Thank you! At a time when you all only wanted to focus on the sport, you managed team dinners, pep rally’s, pinkout nights, senior night events, etc. and you did it successfully. Thank you for caring for them like they were your own and loving them through this season. To our school community and businesses, thank you for the donations, the food, the game favors, the shirts, cheering in the crowd, the fun, the craziness (Puxi-Joe) and the support. The outpouring of support and help this year was inspiring. This experience was enhanced by your cheers & support, both at home and on the road. To the board of education, thank you for providing a need wherever it was. You all are always willing to help, and often don’t have to be asked. Thanks for being at the games, hosting the watch party, helping with yesterday and supporting our kids on this ride. To the parents & families of these programs, WOW the road miles for practices and games, the time on the road and in the gym, the encouragement, the support, and the involvement. Thank you for sharing your kids and letting us enjoy their success! To the additional school staff that work behind the scenes, THANK YOU! From scorekeepers, tech folks, scoreboard operators, office folks, custodians, maintenance, and others - THANK YOU! Bottom line-We are thankful for these opportunities and we are proud of each of you!! #GoPuxico Hey Bulldogs, bring that state title down south back to South Pemiscot!

Ms. Skillman’s 7th grade class have been competing against each other in teams in marble races. The goal of the project was to slow the marble down without it stopping completely. The team with the slowest time won. The winners were Jacob, Chase and Peyton with a time of 14.13 seconds! It was an intense competition between all teams. Another successful marble run with lots of new, unique designs!!!

So much love in one little town. A huge thank you to everyone that helped back home and those that cheered extra loud! The Indians will play Saturday at 1:00 in the quarterfinals. In Perryville, we couldn’t have had a classier crowd. They brought the school spirit for all of our hometown friends! In Puxico, lots of smiles and tasty food. Thank you, once again, for making the very best of this situation. To the fellas, cheerleaders and coaches, thanks for letting us enjoy each opportunity with you- You make us proud! #GoPuxico #GoIndians More to come….

We would like to thank everyone that came out to our hall of fame induction ceremony. It was huge success and we cannot thank all who helped us make this night happen enough! It was an honor and a pleasure to be able to celebrate our Valedictorians and Salutatorians for their academic achievements and the sacrifices they made to be an excellent student at Puxico High School. It was also a great honor to celebrate the 1989- 1990 boys basketball team and their accomplishments. The players and Coaches were the epitome of a team and set the standard for Puxico Basketball. They broke records and set records that may never be broken. We want to thank you for your contributions to the program, the school, and the community. Truly a team that will never be forgotten.
