On this bright, sunny day, Mr. Alter’s eighth-grade science classes put their engineering skills to the first test of the school year. The students had their group-designed and handcrafted solar ovens outside, measuring just how hot they could get during class.

Mrs. Tharp and her fifth graders doing some power writing. Someone in class gets to choose one word and that becomes the prompt. Mrs. Tharp says, “Go!” Highly motivated, the students write as much as they can about that word until the timer goes off. They are each trying to outdo their previous records for number of words written. Mrs. Tharp even writes and tries to beat her own record.

Good work, fifth graders and Mrs. Tharp!

Sometimes teachers go to class, too. Last week, speaker and author Chase Mielke was here working with our staff.

Please help us welcome Mr. Bruce Munden, new special education teacher at Kirksville High School!

Bruce comes to us with 16 years of teaching experience, having taught elementary grades and math throughout his career. Bruce is originally from Slidell, Texas. He earned his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University and his master's degree in administration from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. For Bruce, the best part of teaching is seeing those "aha!" moments when things click for a student.

Outside of school, he is married to fellow Kirksville teacher, Mrs. Coach Munden, and they have four kids. You will find their family cheering on the sidelines at Tiger events year-round!

Please help us welcome Ms. Hannah Champ, a new third grade teacher at Ray Miller Elementary School!

Hannah comes to us having been a paraprofessional at Rolla Senior High School and a substitute teacher here in Kirksville. Originally from Rolla, she earned both her bachelor's degree in creative writing and her master's degree in elementary education from Truman. For Hannah, the most rewarding part of teaching is building strong relationships with her students and watching them grow throughout the year.

Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her other half and her two dogs, exploring the outdoors, getting lost in a good fantasy book, and adding to her plant collection.
