TSC Awards Ceremony Information - We hope you can join us!!
Miles Trimble, a student in Mr. Edgar's Building Trades class created a "Chick-nic" table as an accessory to go with the recently built chicken coops.
CHICKEN COOP CHAOS - Mr. Edgar's Building Trades class used basic carpentry skills such as measuring, cutting, hammering, and assembling, to build chicken coops. This was a partner project to provide a coop for Mr. Hunziker. Students loved doing this hands-on project where they were able to apply tool safety and problem-solving skills as well as engineering and math concepts to their project.
Cadet Teachers from the PM Teaching Pathways' class enjoyed their first day back. They missed their students and enjoyed being back in the classroom/gym working with students at Middle School and New Madrid Elementary. Everyone is looking forward to helping students excel during second semester.
New Madrid County Technical Skills Center honored their "BEST" students. Each TSC teacher chose one student for 1st Semester BEST Club. These are students who demonstrate a strong work ethic through diligence, time management, and persistence. They also use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to make decisions. They are considered leaders in their class because they take the initiative to guide others. They show integrity and are self-disciplined. Congrats to everyone chosen for this honor.

🚨 Attention New Madrid County R1 Parents, Guardians, and Community Members 🚨
We are aware of a recent social media trend where students are using threats in an attempt to cancel school. Unfortunately, this trend has now reached New Madrid County R1 School District.
While the threat has been determined to be unsubstantiated and part of the trend, please know that we are taking it seriously. The safety and security of our schools is always our top priority, and we have been in close contact with school leaders and law enforcement to ensure a safe environment for all.
👉 Important Information:
• The school week will proceed as usual, with increased law enforcement presence and continued vigilance.
• The investigation is ongoing, and there will be consequences for anyone participating in this trend.
• We urge parents to remind their children not to repost or spread threatening messages online.
Together, we can ensure a safe and secure space where our students can learn and grow. Let’s stay #EagleStrong and work together to protect our community. 🦅💪
Our new Building Trades class is already busy at work. Here is the PM class practicing hammering nails into a post.
A shout out to our Auto Tech instructor, Mr. Green! He was asked to review the latest edition of the textbook his classroom uses. Since he helped review the book, his name is also listed in the book. Mr. Green does a great job making sure his students are learning the most up-to-date material and techniques. Keep up the good work, Mr. Green!!
ProStart 2 students had our building smelling wonderful today! They made butter chicken, rice, and homemade naan bread.
