Just happy to be the Counselor at Chouteau Elementary!! #nkcsdproud #learningwithdragons

[NKC Schools @NKCSchools]

🚨 No school on Wed., March 5 due to the impact of last night’s storms, which have caused significant power outages, slick spots, and fallen tree limbs blocking roadways. It will be a traditional snow day – no virtual learning. Adv. Club opens at 7:15.

So proud of these 2 @ChouteauSchool Dragons. They spoke in front of the school board about how awesome Diversity Council is and why it’s important. They did amazing! Thank you #nkcschools for supporting us and what we do.

Students and staff at @ChouteauSchool went all out for their annual Fancy Winter Feast before the holiday break. The gym was transformed with festive lighting, winter-themed table settings, and a cozy fireplace video on the big screen. More photos: https://t.co/ZgLihaSMYX

We love @KansasCityAL ‘s Operation School Bell program! 🏫 🔔 About 50 of our kids are benefitting from the opportunity to shop for clothes, shoes, a book, and hygiene products for the fall! What a blessing!! @NKCSchools #operationschoolbell

Field day fun! Also loved seeing some @ChouteauSchool dragon alumni back to help out! So glad to see these sweet ladies, today too!

I’m also finally cool by doing my hand hearts the “correct” way. 🤣🫶

One of the best parts of working at one school for 12 years is being able to see your former students walk the halls as graduates. Makes this counselor so proud!! 🫶 @NKCSchools @ChouteauSchool @NorthtownNews

Meet Gia of @NKCSchools. She’s one of eight therapy dogs in the district to give students a different kind of support to treat stress & other anxiety from in & outside the classroom. The results have led to better attendance & stronger mental health. https://t.co/MdeRAceTkF

Gia loves her job and her friends she gets to see everyday. 🐾❤️ we are so lucky to have the support of our district, staff, and families!! @NKCSchools @ChouteauSchool

🐾 Happy National Therapy Animal Day! 🐾
Today, we're celebrating the incredible impact our furry friends have on our school community. From providing comfort during stressful times to spreading joy with wagging tails, our therapy dogs make a paw-sitive difference every day.

Such a fun evening! We had many former dragons join and enjoy the evening too!

Chouteau had another great Culture Night tonight!
We had so many families that came to learn, celebrate, and sample the foods of cultures of our families and staff families. Such a fun evening to share with our Chouteau community! @NKCSchools #CultureNightWithDragons

@ChouteauSchool is celebrating the 100th day of school by doing 100 acts of kindness (we have definitely done wayyyy more than that)!
Gia got in on the kindness fun today by delivering encouraging posters to all the classrooms.

We love our new school pictures this year! Reed Photography Group caught an adorable pic of Gia! It took some treats and an awesome photographer, Jose, but we love it! 😍 #giaourtherapydog @ChouteauSchool @NKCSchools

Gia got to hang out with her new bestie, Bolt, this morning at our Elementary Counselor Meeting.

Bolt’s mama also has tasty treats so she LOVED that. Double bonus there!

Fun new friend AND treats… winning combo. ❤️ 🐾

I had the best start to my day @NKCSchools Mr. Patrick showed me how it is done on bus #12 to @ChouteauSchool He greeted every child by name, laughed & joked with them, and had conversations with families. I made some new friends! It was fun to welcome kids back @NKCSDTransport
