@MUSCFoundation Thank you for sharing this! My students just took a tour of the @mobotgarden today and we saw a specimen she took from our county that is archived at the garden! I wanted to learn more about the collector and stumbled upon this post!

So proud of this team!! 6 freshmen, 3 sophomores, and 1 senior!! We faced some adversity early on and lost our confidence a little. The girls kept battling, and now we’re playing some of our best ball!! #conferencechamps

2027 5’6” CG @BraeTurnbough20 has a near triple-double w/ 35 PTS, 7 REB & 7 STL in R1 of the PHC Christmas Tournament!

One of top scorers in Missouri (21.4 PPG). Takes over games. Undeniable w/ slashing ability. Quick pull-up & step-back 3. Smooth in transition. Aggressor on D.

Spent some time with the class of 2024 today prepping before we break for summer! Students learned about financial aid, CCR, testing, academics, and school history. A fun way to end the year for a crew that is no doubt, ready to work in the fall! #rootEdMissouri @rootEdAlliance

The T.I.G.E.R. Certificate program is a result of @AVR2Schools being chosen as a @rootEdAlliance school in 2022. Serving the community is just one way our students are striving be college & career ready! Proud of these students for jumping on board early! #rootEdMissouri

[Arcadia Valley R-II @AVR2Schools]

These AVHS students volunteered their time the Monday following Fall Festival to pick up trash and “leftovers” along the parade route as part of completing their T.I.G.E.R Certificate.

Super proud of these kids showing up and volunteering their time to serve our community!
