Mrs. Crabb presented Mrs. Seiler with a small token of our appreciation for her service. Thank you Mrs. Kristi Seiler, you will be greatly missed.
There is one group of people in our school district that are often overlooked because they are not seen in the classrooms providing instruction during the day, in the cafeteria during lunch, monitoring students in the hallways or at recess. Yet, this significant group come together not just once a month, but whenever they are needed to help make decisions that will impact all staff & students in the district for years to come. This past week, we recognized our Puxico Board of Education members for Board of Education Week as a way of saying thank you for all they do for the district. Ms. Thompson worked with elementary students creating report cards & certificates for the board members & they each enjoyed reading theirs & comparing grades & shared many laughs together. This past week, every board member was highlighted on our district FB page providing a glimpse into their vested interest in the district, their family, & a little about themselves. This group has worked tirelessly together, never leaving a stone unturned before making a decision while always keeping the students best interest in mind. Thank you Puxico Board of Education members. We greatly appreciate your contribution to the board & continued service to the district.
