Today, the Monett Early Childhood Center buzzed with extra excitement as the boys' basketball team lined up to welcome students with high-fives, kicking off the day with energy and smiles all around! 🏀🤚 But that's not all - in a heartwarming celebration of the 100th day of school, one of our kindergarten students stole the show dressed as a grandpa! 👴
His adorable outfit, complete with glasses and a cane, reminded us of the joy and creativity that makes our school community so special. It's moments like these that bring us together, making every day at school unforgettable.
A big shout out to our basketball team for spreading positivity and to our little "grandpa" for the laughter and happiness. 🌟

MHS students recently took a trip to Missouri Southern State University. Students got to tour the campus and experience a typical day of an MSSU student. Trips to universities allow students to envision their future and the world of higher education.
The Monett High School hosted the College and Career Fair, allowing students to connect with colleges, universities, trade schools, and the military. It's never too early to start planning for the future and today was a stepping stone on that journey.
🎥 Tune in tonight to KSN16 for a news story on the College and Career Fair!
Mrs. Allen's fourth graders are diving into science! They have explored testable questions and the scientific method. They want to discover which coin, a penny, nickel, or dine, holds the most water droplets on the surface. After forming a hypothesis, students paired up for the experiment. In the end, students analyzed the data and determined whether their hypothesis was correct.
