Steelville R-III School District

We had a great evening celebrating our spring sports teams and athletes at last night’s Spring Sports Awards! Middle School teams honored included Volleyball and Track, while our High School teams recognized were Baseball, Softball, Golf, and Track. A special congratulations to our Senior Athlete Award winners, Molly Bailey and Vincent Lorraine!

Sign-Up Form for June 16th Meal Pick-Up Hey, Cardinals! We are putting out the sign-up form for our 1st week of meal pick-ups early to get a count! Please complete this form before Monday, June 9th, to sign up for 5 meal kits (each kit contains 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches) to be picked up at Steelville Middle School on Monday, June 16th between 11AM and 1PM! If they are registered, then children do not need to be present at pick-up. All children 18 and under are welcome to receive meals! They do not need to be students of the Steelville School District. Please use this form to sign up! https://forms.gle/Wi5sZJvfjz1zxZL36 There will be a very limited number of extra meal kits available, first come first serve. Children MUST be present at pick-up if they are not registered on the Google Form by 6/9/2025.

For their final project, Art I-III students completed self portraits. With the time crunch of the end of the year, SHS artists didn’t have quite as much time to work on them as they did other projects, but some pretty amazing results still came from students growing familiar with human facial proportions and deepening their observational drawing skills! Featured self portraits here are by Audrey King, Bella Leasor, Peighton Frazier, Daniel Madrigal, and Keira Frazier. ✨

The SHS theatre program is going to host a summer camp for SMS and SHS students entering grade 5-12 that will focus on fundamental acting skills.

There were a few students that knew how to crochet and some beginners that learned to create a chain, magic ring, single crochet, double crochet, and how to increase. Miss Wibbenmeyer is so proud of how much these students learned and grew.
