Lion's Link #lionpride

Wow! Today was day 11 of 12 Days of Giving, and our hearts are full! The entire staff sends a big THANK YOU! to those in the community whose generous donations made this possible. We always appreciate the support this community gives our school, but this was a very personalized and individual gift to each of us, and it really touched our hearts. So from all of us to those of you who did this for us (you know who you are!) thank you, and happy holidays!

We want to hear from our community members and parents/caregivers--how are we doing? Please take a few minutes to give us some feedback in this short survey. I'm extending the deadline to Monday, December 18th.

• Friday, 12/15: Boys' Basketball vs Iberia, home, 6:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, 12/19: B & G Basketball at Macks Creek, 6:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, 12/19: FFA Alumni Meeting, Ag room, 6:30 p.m.
• Wednesday, 12/20: Board of Education meeting, HS library, 6:00 p.m.

The mission of the Miller County R-III School District, in partnership with our students, parents, staff, and community, is to promote PRIDE and provide a quality education that inspires our students to be lifelong learners.

Dear Parents and Community Members,

Happy Friday! I can’t believe it, but we are down to TWO days left of first semester! If you haven’t checked your student’s grades yet, I highly encourage you to do this to see what your student’s current grade is. If you have any questions or concerns about grades please reach out to your student’s teacher.

As busy as this time of the year is, I hope you are able to enjoy some time relaxing with your loved ones. I hope winter break allows you to take a breather that I’m sure is much needed. We will see students back in class on Wednesday, January 3.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out. My door is always open and I am always willing to help however I can. Happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Kyla Kirtley

Principal
