Wheatland R-II School District

Countdown to Christmas!

Elementary students were able to taste snack peppers at lunch this week as part of the monthly local produce taste test. The produce was purchased through the program, Promoting Specialty Crops in Missouri Schools.

Chemistry students play periodic table battleship as a fun way to review electron configurations.  

FFA members were challenged in the best way!
State FFA Vice President Braxton Watts joined us in class and led students through activities designed to strengthen communication and leadership skills.

We are proud to announce the 2nd and 3rd place winners of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution – Patriots of the American Revolution High School Essay Contest (2025-2026).

2nd Place: Ruger Sopher, Freshman
Only 1.2 points behind the winning essay – an outstanding accomplishment!

3rd Place: Jesse Rash, Freshman
A strong, well-researched essay that impressed the judges!

This contest challenged 9th-12th grade students to select a real figure from the American Revolution (1773-1783) and explain how that person helped shape the fight for independence. Essays were judged on historical accuracy, organization using a standard citation style, originality, grammar, and use of sources – both primary and printed.

While we didn’t have anyone advance to the state level competition, we are incredibly proud of our students’ hard work, research, and commitment to honoring the Patriots who helped build our nation.

We would also like to thank the Matilda Polk Campbell Chapter, NSDAR in Bolivar for hosting this chapter level contest.

Congratulations again to our winners! Your essays are a meaningful way to honor America’s upcoming 250th anniversary.

Great job to first and second grade students and Ms. Lutz on the music program last night!

Congratulations to Mrs. Almond on being selected as the Galmey VFW Teacher of the Year. This honor recognizes her dedication to her students, her commitment to teaching patriotism and civic responsibility, and the positive impact she makes within her school and community. Her nomination is also being forwarded to the District 14 VFW for consideration at the next level of the competition. Winners at the district level will advance for possible recognition at the state and national levels. Good luck!

Food for America was a Huge Hit! 🐄🌽
FFA members showcased incredible projects and presentations on Food, Safety, and Animal Care.

A huge thank you to all the parents and community members who helped transport projects to school — your support makes events like this possible!

We’d also like to thank the Missouri Sheep Council for providing grants to purchase American-Raised Lamb Meat, and MFA for generously allowing us to borrow cattle panels for the livestock pens.

Great job to all our FFA members for making this year’s event such a success! 💙💛
