Dexter, Missouri - T. S. Hill Middle School was filled with excitement as 195 students along with 9 teachers made their way to the SHOW ME CENTER indoor aquatic facility this week. 

The event was held as a reward for those students earning the 2nd Quarter "Headed to the Top" trip.  After the a swim in the aquatic center pool, the students returned to T. S. Hill Middle School to enjoy a pizza party. 

This is a special group that qualifies by each student being required to earn a letter grade of all C's or better, NO discipline referrals, and fewer than 3 absences.  

"We are really thankful to everyone that allows our school to do this for our students," commented Scott Kruse, Middle School Principal.  "This continues to be a great way to motivate them to make good grades, stay out of trouble, and come to school."
