Students review available leadership roles with their teachers. They can fill out an application stating their top 3 roles and why they would be a good fit. Students then receive an orientation once assigned to a role. #MVNation #GrowingTogether

MVR-III students and staff are stepping up to support families impacted by the flood! From lending a helping hand to offering supplies, our community is stronger together. Proud to see #MVNation coming together in a time of need. ❤️ #Service #Community #MVNation #DifferenceMakers @CharacterPlus @character.org
Our thoughts are with each of you as we navigate the flooding affecting our community. To prioritize the safety of our students and staff, the Meramec Valley R-III School District will be closed on Thursday, November 7th, and Friday, November 8th.
During this challenging time, we encourage our staff who are able or willing to volunteer to lend a hand to neighbors, help with sandbagging, or join cleanup efforts once the waters recede. Together, our community will emerge stronger by supporting one another.
Don’t Forget - Set clocks back one hour tonight, and exercise your right to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5th! #MVNation
