Christmas fun is in full swing in Mrs. Hayes’ class! Students visited the 🌲 tree farm, practiced sharing with the 🚂 trains, stacked 🍬 gumdrops, trimmed Santa’s beard 🎅, and explored the 🍪 gingerbread sensory bin. They’re becoming so independent at stations and staying engaged! ⭐ #theknightway #bettertogether







Our Truman Learning Center “Little Squires” teachers, Mrs. Bono and Ms. Rehkop, brought big holiday cheer while ringing the bell for the United Way of St. Francois County.
They spend their days caring for our youngest learners and still find time to serve the community, which is exactly what makes them so special.

Mrs. G’s Pre-K kiddos have been working so hard at learning their shapes, and they decided to have a little fun with it! They had a fantastic time creating shapes with their snacks—snack time taken to a whole new level! 🍎🔺✨#theknightway # bettertogether



The Little Squires have been working on lots of pre-academic skills in their stations. They’ve been learning the first letter of their name, counting, learning shapes, extending patterns, and using colors to create pieces of art 🖼️! #theknightway #bettertogether

There will be no school today for the Farmington R-7 School District due to inclement weather. Please stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the extra time at home. Snow Day #1
Today’s announcement features the first student-created Snow Day design from our Grades 5–12 Snow Day Design Challenge! We’ll be sharing the top student submissions each time school is canceled this winter, and we can’t wait for you to see the creativity our Knights have put into their artwork.
To make the morning a little brighter, we’re also sharing a few snapshots of student art projects from around the district. Our classrooms have been busy this semester, and this is a great chance to celebrate the talent of our students while you enjoy an unexpected day off.
Stay cozy, Knights, and we’ll see you soon!
