Richland Elementary Named Blue Ribbon School
Essex, Missouri - Richland R-1 School District's Elementary School has been named a National Blue Ribbon School for 2018 by U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

She recognized 349 schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2018. 

“I’m pleased to celebrate with you as your school is named a National Blue Ribbon School,” said DeVos in a video message to the honorees. “We recognize and honor your important work in preparing students for successful careers and meaningful lives. Congratulations on your students’ accomplishments and for your extraordinary commitment to meeting their unique needs.”

The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.

The coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content.

Now in its 36th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed recognition on more than 8,800 schools. On November 7-8, the Secretary and the Department of Education will celebrate with 300 public and 49 private school honorees at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.

All schools are honored in one of two performance categories, based on all student scores, subgroup student scores and graduation rates:

• Exemplary High Performing Schools are among their state’s highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests.

• Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing Schools are among their state’s highest performing schools in closing achievement gaps between a school’s student groups and all students over the past five years.

Up to 420 schools may be nominated each year. The Department invites National Blue Ribbon School nominations from the top education official in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Department of Defense Education Activity and the Bureau of Indian Education. Private schools are nominated by The Council for American Private Education (CAPE).

Briggs and Stratton Donate 30 Engines
October 09th 2018 by Dee Loflin
Briggs and Stratton Donate 30 Engines
Briggs and Stratton donated 30 small engines so students of the PBHS agriculture education program can gain hands-on experience.
 
The four-cylinder engines will be disassembled and reassembled in the agriculture powers and agriculture mechanics classes for students to see how the pistons and the valves function, for example, after learning the concepts in the classroom, according to educators.
 
"It helps tremendously. It'd be hard to have a program like this without such partnerships," explained agriculture instructor Dean Lackey, first year teacher at PBHS.

Lackey noted that Briggs made similar donations to his previous school in Cardwell as well, but now having the manufacturer in his backyard is a "plus plus." He and his colleague Kathryn Clark were recently invited on a tour of the plant.
 
Above: Dean Lackey oversees students Michael Salamone (middle) and Sam Pierce as they work on small engines in the shop.
