✏️ 7th Grade Letters To Their Senior Self 📨
Back when he was in seventh grade, Allan Blaue was given an assignment to write a letter to himself about his current life that he couldn't open until he was a senior in high school. Now a junior high teacher Mr. Blaue decided to do the same project with his students. The senior class of 2022 had the chance recently to open their letters they wrote to themselves 6 years ago 😆 !

Thank you for everything you do! ❤️
JROTC Robotics Teams Donation
Donate today to help pay for registration fees of our two VEX Robotics Teams who qualified to compete at the VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas, TX from May 2-6, 2022.
We would like the Nixa community to know the importance of supporting Robotics and STEM. Students gain a broader understanding of the robotics field by competing at these National levels. Additionally, students are able to network, develop friendships, and better prepare themselves for careers in critical areas such Engineering, Programming, Cybersecurity, and Computer Science.
Their goal is to raise $1,000.00. We appreciate your donations!
