Lion's Link #lionpride

The Ancient History class recreated artifacts of Persian warfare. Pictured are the primary weapon spear, secondary weapon short sword, wicker shield, and scaled plate armor.

Kindergarten also investigated pumpkins. They measured height with unifix cubes, circumference with links and measuring tape, counted lines on the pumpkin, used magnifying glasses to explore closer and counted the seeds. They found 476!

Our Tuscumbia FFA members had an unforgettable time at the National FFA Convention! Students enjoyed touring Fair Oaks Farms and RDM Aquaculture, along with cheering on our very own Henry Patterson and Sarah Ahart as they crossed the BIG stage to receive honors for their Agriscience projects! Here are just a few highlights from the trip. Be sure to visit our Tuscumbia FFA Facebook page to see more pictures and memories!

Our Ag classes have been busy putting their skills to work! Ag 1 and 2 students have been building a variety of wooden projects, from cornhole boards to yard signs and everything in between. Ag 1 has also been hard at work expanding our school garden by relocating and rebuilding raised garden beds. Meanwhile, Ag Construction students have been creating impressive projects, including custom cutting boards, a new cutting table, and much more. We are proud to see our students’ creativity, craftsmanship, and hands-on skills in action!

The mission of the Miller County R-III School District, in partnership with our students, parents, staff, and community, is to promote PRIDE and provide a quality education that inspires our students to be lifelong learners.
