Except your teacher is a semifinalist for Missouri 2026 Teacher of the Year!
Only 17 teachers in the entire state made it this far — narrowed down from 34 regional winners. We couldn’t be prouder of Mr. Matt Kennedy!
Shoutout to this team who brought their expertise to our all-staff safety training today! Pictured left to right: Kirksville Police Deputy Chief Justin Jones, Kirksville Police Chief Scott Williamson, Kirksville Fire Chief Jon Cook, Kirksville School Resource Officer Rich Harden, Adair County Ambulance District Lead Training Instructor Jason Moss, and Jason's daughters who graciously assisted.
We appreciate your time and commitment to keeping our staff and students safe!
We aren't sure how other schools have crayons delivered, but here in Kirksville we get single boxes big enough they have to be strapped down on a flatbed.
Forge and Build Kirksville (formerly Jepson Lumber) just dropped off a donation of school supplies in a huge box that they turned into a crayon box. Inside are new backpacks and kits of assorted school supplies! Thank you, Build and Forge!
KV Families: if you are needing school supplies stop by our Board of Education Office at 1901 East Hamilton and grab some supplies to help finish out your children's lists, while supplies last! The office is open 8:00 AM-4:00 PM, Monday through Friday!
