Higbee R-VIII School District

Our FACS classes have been busy in the kitchen! One group has been diving into seasonal cooking by making pumpkin pies completely from the ground up, from prepping fresh pumpkins to plating their beautiful homemade pies. The results were as impressive as they were delicious! Meanwhile, our other FACS class has been exploring how to create restaurant-quality dishes without the restaurant price tag. Students learned that great food does not have to be expensive, and that sharing a well-made meal is one of the best ways to bring people together. #FACS #LearningByDoing

Junior High boys may have ended the season with a loss tonight, but nothing takes away from the endurance and determination they showed all season. Game after game they kept improving and fighting. That's something to be proud of.

Thank you to the Junior High cheerleaders for bringing energy and spirit to every game this season. Your dedication kept the crowd loud and the team motivated.

Tough loss for the Lady Tigers tonight, but what a season. A 6 game winning streak, growth every game, and a team that never stopped fighting. On to bigger things next!

🤠Join us for a “murdery” mystery full of laughter, suspense, and small-town drama on November 15th at 6:00 p.m. You won’t want to miss this night of intrigue, talent, and theatrical chaos (in the best way).

We had a special visit today from Treydance Chapman, a recent graduate of Missouri Welding Institute, who also happens to be a former student of Mr. Sharrock. He came to speak with our students about his college experience and answer questions about opportunities in the welding field. After his talk, he joined the class in the shop to demonstrate his craftsmanship and share some new welding techniques. It was a great hands-on learning experience and an inspiring reminder of where hard work and dedication can lead.

The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri needs our help in improving their programs. They supply our school district with so many great items for student's households but want to continue to grow! They're asking for families to take a confidential, short survey about the food they’ve received and how it has benefited their family. As a token of gratitude, any family who completes the survey will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a $25 Walmart gift card.

At the end of the survey, respondents can also express interest in completing a phone interview with our staff to provide more feedback. We will be choosing 12 families to conduct those phone interviews over the next 3-4 months. Any families who complete the phone interviews will receive a $50 Wal-Mart gift card to thank them for their time.

Don't forget to get your orders in! Forms and payment are due November 12th. GO TIGERS!
