8th grade visited Mercy Phyical Therapy for their career field trip in the helping and health path. Andrea Mauk taught them about what it take a to be a physical therapist, and the students even got some hands-on experience. An interest in science is important. It is also necessary to like people and have good written and verbal communication skills. Becoming a physical therapist takes a doctorate or professional degree. If you are interested in the field, though, but don't want to invest that much in education, you can be a physical therapy assistant with an associates degree.

Last week, 5th grade competed at Sarcoxie in an archery tournament. It was a great learning experience for them.
For the first time, Shell Knob School hosted a twelve team Math/Science Scholar Bowl. The event was organized by math teacher and Scholar Bowl Coach Max Schumann.
First place went to a Mt Grove team. Shell Knob had two teams of mixed grades. One SK team took 5th place, just a few points shy of a trophy and the other SK team took 12th. Both teams voted on their most valuable player and there were 3 standouts: 8th grader Dylan Peoples, 6th grader Hailey Walker and 8th grader Zayla Snow. Coach Schumann commented, “ I am very proud of how hard our teams competed. I had several coaches compliment our school and share that they thought everything ran incredibly smoothly. It makes me proud to be a Charger!”

Middle School Student Leadership is hosting a week long fun event for middle school students.
Recently, Kindergarten-2nd grade teachers and Mrs. Riepl attended the "Writing as a Road to Comprehension" conference presented by the GOCSD.
7th grade went to Freedom Bank for a career field trip in the business career path. They learned there are jobs at every education level available in a bank. To work at a bank, you need to be good at math, have good people skills, and be able to navigate a computer well. Just a few the the cool things students got to see is how money is counted, the safety deposit boxes, and they learned about interest and how banks make money.
In November, thousands of school nutrition operators, directors, managers, state agency staff, and industry partners come together and
deliver the tools, ideas, and inspiration needed to elevate school meal programs and support student success with a focus on both professional and personal growth. Our fabulous SK food services staff attended the conference.
Happy National School Counselor Week to our very own Wonder Woman- Mrs. Givens! Our school is blessed to have a counselor that cares so much and prioritizes the success of our students.
