Plato students had an amazing time at their Color Run celebration!
This event was a reward for their incredible participation in the Plato PTO Giving Campaign, and they definitely earned it!
Our students showed up, showed out, and had a blast while supporting their school. We are so proud of their effort and grateful for our PTO and volunteers who made this day happen.

Duncan Middle School brought the energy today! We recognized all of our fall sports teams and the band, battled for the Spirit Stick, and wrapped it all up with a very entertaining game of Wig Snatch.
Pep rallies like this help build Duncan Demon pride and keep our school traditions strong. We love seeing our students cheer each other on and celebrate one another! ❤️🖤

Last week’s assembly at Mark Twain Elementary was packed with celebration and fun! 🌟
Our art classes also entered the Electric Cooperative coloring contest in honor of Willie Wirehand’s 75th birthday, and we are thrilled to share that Jacob Tovar, a 2nd grader in Mrs. Biffle’s class, earned 2nd place in the PreK–3rd grade division! 🖍️⚡
And of course, we can’t forget our staff, who joined in the fun with some fantastic costumes! 🎭✨
It was a day full of school spirit, creativity, and smiles at Mark Twain Elementary!
