Dear Parents and Families,

Thank You for a Wonderful Back-to-School Fair!

A huge THANK YOU to the Tuscumbia Betterment Committee for putting together such a wonderful Back-to-School Fair! Your time, hard work, and generosity helped make the evening so special for our students and families.

Thank you to all of our families who came out to enjoy the evening with us. Seeing our school filled with smiles, laughter, excitement, and families spending time together was the perfect way to kick off a new school year!

And, of course, a very special thank you to our teachers and staff. You continue to go above and beyond for our students and families, and we are so grateful for everything you do to make Miller County R-III such a special place.

It was a wonderful evening and a great reminder of how lucky we are to be part of such a supportive community. Thank you to everyone who helped make our Open House and Back-to-School Fair a success!
