If anyone is having trouble getting tickets, here is the easiest way to get to those. Go to MSHSAA tickets, look for Show Me Showdown, do not go to boys or class 3, these are past games from the sectional and quarterfinal rounds. Go look for March 13, this will be a 2 day ticket, purchase from there. If you can't go on Friday, when you click on Saturday it should have the option for a 1 day ticket. Hope this helps..

We will shorten the pep rally at the high school, and adjust the practice time that was set at Southern Boone, to make a trip through the Birch Tree Elementary lot on the way. The basketball team will leave LHS around 11:45 and head to Birch Tree, they will be back to MVE around 12:20 and then head on out of town. We are doing are best to include everyone in this process, but had some time constraints with practices set, but we can always make adjustments. Go Eagles!!

As we head into the 4th quarter of the school year, we want to share an important calendar update with our families.

Due to two non-emergency related closures, we will be making up those days on the following dates:

• March 23 will be a make-up day for the day school was dismissed for a teacher’s funeral.
• April 13 will be a make-up day for the day we will miss this Friday when many of our students and staff attend the Final Four game in Columbia.

Tuesday marks the first day of 4th quarter, and we have a lot of great activities and learning opportunities ahead for our students. As we enter the final stretch of the school year, we encourage everyone to make attendance a priority.

Let’s work together to finish the year strong!

We are going to have to make some changes to the elementary boys basketball season. I have spoken with the coaches and the turnout between 4th, 5th and 6th grade was around 75 total kids. Only being able to play 5 kids at a time is going to make it really tough for our students to get what they really need out of the season.
We are going to scrap this plan for traditional practices and a few games and go for something that gets everyone involved and learning. The current practice schedule will change, he will make a return trip to BTE and MVE with more details.

Even though we are not in school today due to weather, we still want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our amazing school counselors. Today has been designated as Counselor Appreciation Day at MVBT, and it also falls during National School Counselor Week.

Our counselors play a vital role in supporting our students—academically, socially, and emotionally. They listen, encourage, guide, and advocate for our kids every single day, often in ways that go unseen.

Please join us in giving a BIG shout-out and heartfelt thank you to our school counselors. We appreciate all that you do for our students, families, and staff!
