Katherine Johnson is a GO CAPS student in the Agriculture and Food System Strand. Katherine's GO CAPS CAPStone project teaches students about agriculture and where their food comes from. Katherine was recently in Mrs. Blevins' 5th-grade classroom at MIS for three days teaching students about the MO Beef for MO Kids program. She prepared and taught three lessons and conducted activities to go along with the lessons. "With my CAPStone project, I plan to expand into more classrooms in the SW Missouri area and share about this program." - Katherine Johnson

Our Choir students competed at the District Solo/Small Ensemble contest on April 1st at MSSU. Three entries advanced to State! Congratulations to all! 👏😁

GO CAPS held their annual Lunch and Learn event. This event brings educators and business partners together to learn from one another. GO CAPS students held roundtable discussions with administrators, counselors from area schools, and partners in our region. GO CAPS students had the opportunity to share their experiences and provide insight into the program's benefits.

Mrs. Smith's class held a publishing party to celebrate the completion of their book projects. Students worked diligently for two weeks researching animals and writing nonfiction books about what they learned. Students invited Dr. Drake, instructional coaches, reading recovery teachers, and MES teachers to stop by to read the books and leave positive feedback. 📚✏️

Mrs. Wallsmith's Art students designed a two player game like Tic-Tac-Toe. Each student designed their own game with a theme that could be seen in all their pieces. Students showed concepts of design using clay to create their board and player pieces. Each student received a bag that they decorated that also showed their theme and name of their game. Students enjoyed playing their game together when finished.
