The Puxico Jr. High Beginning Band and Intermediate Band performed their Christmas Concert. They did an outstanding job! Thank you Mr. Luecke and Mrs. Lambert for working with our students and molding them into musicians.
A big thank you to the high school athletes for spending time in the elementary library reading to our students.
Friday night was a great night for the Puxico Varsity Indians. With friends and family in attendance we celebrated the accomplishments of the 23-24 Varsity team. The team was presented with their banner from last season and recognized between games. The 23-24 Varsity Indians had a record of 23-6 the best since 2007. The team also won a district title and a sectional title. Their quarterfinal appearance marks the furthest advancement in the state playoffs in over 65 years.
Students in Ms. Skillmans Science classes have been learning about earthquakes. They created posters about the Do’s and Dont’s during an earthquake.
Ranu Suthar, who is a foreign exchange student from India, came to share about her country, culture, and traditions, and even showed traditional jewelry worn by her mother and aunt, in Mrs. Smothers’ 6th grade Social Studies classes and 8th grade Current Events class right before Thanksgiving Break.
