Congratulations to Mr. Nicks and Mrs. Beel and SHS band and poms for a wonderful performance at Mizzou's Homecoming Parade and Band Competition! Steelville earned 1st in Class, Outstanding Drum Major, and Outstanding Auxiliary! We are so proud of these amazing students!







As part of Yearbook Spirit Week, Yearbook asked SHS first hour teachers to spread some positivity by writing encouraging notes to stick on their students' lockers! We love to see it!


One of the SMS 8th grade Teen Teach Prevention teams taught their first lesson! Stormee, Brandon, Silas, and Madden taught Mrs. Wishon's 6th grade class the dangers of vaping and how to be healthy and more resilient!
From Mrs. Baker, SMS Counselor: " I am so so so so proud of them!!!! They were fantastic! And the 6th graders were listening to them the whole time!"
Way to set a great example, Cardinals!!!







These SES Kindergarteners had an absolute BLAST on their field trip to Pete's Pumpkin Patch!!! We love to see those big smiles and all of the cute (and spoooooooky!!!) fall scenes!





The Child Development 1 class has been learning about heredity and computing Punnett squares to determine the probability of certain traits. Recently, they took part in a Cookie Genetics activity in which they determined their genotypes and phenotypes and created their cookie with those traits!🍪 Yum!




Please join us in recognizing these 5 amazing staff members of the week!!! Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Hagerty, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Booker, and Mr. Hammonds, thank you for everything you do for our district! We have the best of the best here at Steelville R-3!!!






This morning, we celebrated our Cardinal Character Breakfast students! This is one of our staff's favorite days, because we get to celebrate some of the great students we have in our building. Congratulations to our 1st Quarter Cardinal Breakfast recipients!

We are so excited that the main hallway in the central office has been converted into a gallery walkway for our student artists! SHS artists were challenged to create line-based illustrations with a strong sense of emphasis. The artworks chosen for this display are truly exemplary, and can best be appreciated in person! Please congratulate the following artists on their excellent work:
Daniel Madrigal
Molly Bailey
Izzy Quinton
Boston Setzer
Aaleigha Decker
Sam Skaggs
Audrey King
Bree Mitchell
Miriam Madrigal
Bella Leaser
(Names are listed according to display order from left to right.)

SHS artists just finished up their first big project of the school year, and we are so pleased with the high volume of outstanding work that came as a result! For this project, students created work using line as their primary element of art, and emphasis as their primary principle of design. Students have three opportunities to have their work on display following the completion of each project throughout the year. Students may have their work posted on the art bulletin board, on display in the library, and for the first time, their work may also be chosen to be matted, framed, and on display at the central office.






This Cardinal student and Mookie are celebrating a great week at SMS!!! Have a great weekend!

It's game day!!! SHS JV Volleyball battles @ the JV Potosi Tournament for the first pool play game today at 9AM at John Evans Middle School in Potosi! Good luck, ladies!


Mr. Hagerty has been implementing Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) in 8th grade Math this year. BTC is where students put notebooks away and participate in group work while standing at whiteboards. BTC encourages students to collaborate with other students and discuss problems with their peers. This requires them to think critically and creatively to solve many different types of problems. These students were rocking their math work today!





Last night, SHS Volleyball battled it out with Cuba, eventually taking the loss in 4 sets. It was our Pink, night and we had a great turn out to recognize breast cancer awareness and raise money for those battling cancer! Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed.










It is Fall Sports Officials Appreciation Week! Last night we teamed up with Cuba to support a Cardinal family battling cancer and to recognize two of the best officials in the business! Jeff Ridgeway and Devonna Marshall, thank you for the time, dedication, and the heart you bring to our volleyball games.


Yesterday, SMS Girls Basketball A-Team and B-Team both brought home wins at Cuba! The finals scores were A-Team 56-15 and B-Team 26-24!
Congrats, ladies!
