We are so proud of our school community for the incredible generosity shown during our Love a Pet Fundraiser in partnership with Haven of the Ozarks! ❤️🐾
Because of YOU, we collected hundreds of much-needed items to support dogs waiting for their forever homes. Our students truly showed what compassion, kindness, and service look like in action!
🏆 Fundraiser Highlights
🐾 Top Elementary Class: FIFTH GRADE – 413 items collected!
🐾 Top Middle School Class: SEVENTH GRADE – 124 items collected!
👏 A special shoutout to THIRD GRADE for an amazing effort! They were neck-and-neck with fifth grade throughout the entire competition and finished strong with 254 items collected. We are so proud of your dedication and heart!
🎉 Winning Class Reward
Fifth grade and seventh grade have earned a return field trip to Haven of the Ozarks where they will:
Deliver all donated items from our generous school community
Visit their adopted dogs again 🐶
Serve and help however the shelter needs
What an incredible way to continue learning through service!
💛 A Bigger Purpose
Beyond collecting supplies, one of the most important goals of this project was education. Through “Love a Pet,” students learned about responsible pet ownership — including proper care, commitment, spaying and neutering, and the importance of providing safe, permanent homes.
Our hope is that by growing awareness and compassion in our students and families, we can positively impact our wider community and help reduce the number of dogs who end up without consistent care or safe homes. Every conversation, every lesson, and every act of kindness makes a difference.
Thank you to all of our families, students, and staff who donated items, shared wish lists, and supported this Valentine-themed service project. Your generosity is making a real difference in the lives of animals in need.
We are so thankful to partner with Haven of the Ozarks and can’t wait to see our winning classes back in action serving again

Last call for Love a Pet fundraiser! You can bring items to Title 1 Family night Thursday.
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!”
Scholastic Book fair this week! Plan on stopping by during parent breakfast on Wednesday morning.
