Good morning Panther Nation! School’s out! I was never a fan of the rock ‘n’ roll legend Alice Cooper. But that song was a good one. Years ago we had a student at school named Bruno. He was such a good hearted kid and always wanted to please others. He had some very serious health issues and passed away as a very young adult shortly after he graduated. My... READ MORE >

Good morning Panther Nation! Hey it's Thursday and life is as good as can be expected.

Good morning Panther Nation! As we wrap up the last week of the normal school week and consequently the COVID-19 school week, things are certainly different. What is not different is our staff and students’ quest for excellence. From the senior parade Sunday to the PK graduation that was supposed to happen tonight, things are just not the way they are...

Good morning Panther Nation! Yesterday afternoon was certainly a different graduation day than the usual Mother’s Day/MCR-2 graduation. We decided to push off the regular celebration until June 7th, hoping for things to return to a more normal setting. Seniors wanted to do something on the actual day they were supposed to have the official ceremony. “Voila”... READ MORE >

Good Morning Panther Nation!Mrs. Eaton had a huge smile on her face when she realized all the cars parked on the side of the highway were not people parked for an auction. When we turned from the interstate off ramp and came over the bridge towards our house, she noticed several cars. She said “what are all those cars about?” I said, “it might be an... READ MORE >

Good morning Panther Nation! Another day in the life of COVID. The Phase 1 of Missouri’s “opening up” doesn’t feel much different to me. I went to the office at school for a while yesterday morning and then went to a follow up surgery appointment in St. Joseph. I met Kendey (one of my bad knee daughters). It is technically my forefathers fault through... READ MORE >

Good morning Panther Nation! We have all had déjà vu at some point in our lives. Yesterday I was again blessed with the opportunity to visit Mrs. Eaton. I went to school early and took care of some school business, laid out some plans with Paul Panning and did a walk-through of the building. I then took off to Omaha to learn more about being a Doctor when... READ MORE >

Good morning Panther Nation! I worked on Federal Programs yesterday (what a joy!) It is pretty easy to imagine the red tape that comes with federal dollars.

Good morning Panther Nation! Last night the girls fixed mushrooms, oh boy they were so good. Our daughter Joeigh and I went mushroom hunting last week and only found four.

I have said words of comfort, peace and understanding for that family over and over and over. I brought Pizza Hut pizza (pepperoni, Italian sausage, onions and... READ MORE >

Good morning Panther Nation! I shouldn’t talk about my personal life on the school’s website, but how am I supposed to refrain from that, when the school has been my life for the last the thirty years? I can prove it! We have three kids and only one of them has, at this point chosen public education as a vocation. The other two have not. I asked my son,... READ MORE >

Good morning Panther Nation,Yesterday I got up and fixed the usual pre-church breakfast of bacon, cheesy scrambled eggs, and French toast, but this time Mrs. Eaton did not participate.

Panther Nation,The picture above probably doesn’t really mean much without explanation. That was sent to me late Wednesday afternoon as I was driving back home from Omaha.

Lots of veteran superintendents attended this meeting. We talked of the legislation that... READ MORE >

Panther Nation,As you noticed I attached a "selfie" to the start of today's message. Reasoning?--- in case you forgot what I looked like with my reading glasses on. I can't believe I just used the word "selfie" in an actual sentence.....We had a zoom board meeting this morning. It certainly went better than I thought it might, those things sometimes have a way... READ MORE >

What a morning Panther Nation,We start yet another week of “school in place”, strange times to say the least. Sorry I was late writing this morning.

I did see one hen shortly followed by a large, very full coated... READ MORE >

Great snowy morning Panther Nation,Yesterday, late afternoon I received a call from Mound City’s dear friend and my pseudo “Uncle Gene” Poynter.

He broke a hip several weeks ago had surgery and... READ MORE >

Stick to it, work hard and you will never regret it! Good Morning Panther Nation, I worked on the school budget for next year all day yesterday, I always start working on it in January, but then really hit it hard in March and April.

Panther Nation,Well, after a day at school of dealing with budgets, COVID-19 agendas from the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act program, and grants.gov-- I headed home yesterday.

Good day Panther Nation, Our kids all came home last weekend. The oldest had to leave to go back to work early Monday morning.

We went to church that following Sunday... READ MORE >

Panther Nation,First, thank you to all of those that reached out with birthday wishes this past weekend. I was blessed to have my immediate family around.

Hey Panther Nation, No school today due to icy weather conditions............You students and several parents (former students) know that to be mostly false since Mr. Eaton quote, "never lets out of school because of weather."

The fishing late yesterday afternoon was just that – fishing.

Panther Nation, Looks like the weekend wasn't the greatest of news as far as the current situation we are facing in the world and specifically in our great country.
