William Holliday Elementary opened in 1959, and Pontiac Junior High opened in 1976. These buildings were constructed decades ago and no longer meet today’s safety expectations, accessibility requirements, or educational needs.
The bond referendum would allow the district to address these needs in a cost and time-efficient manner, complete state-mandated repairs, and create a learning environment where all students can succeed. 🏫
The St. Louis Dairy Council visited first grade on Thursday to discuss local farmers and each cow the classes adopted. Students learned about dairy farm tools, what the cows eat and how they are cared for. All three classes chose a cow to adopt at the beginning of the school year.

Project Cupid on Y98 FM is a community initiative in partnership with St. Louis-area schools, where students create Valentine's Day cards for seniors in nursing homes to combat loneliness and spread cheer. The radio station's morning show, The Bret Mega Show, will visit our school and pick up the valentines on February 2nd at 11:15 AM to gather these handmade valentines for delivery. The goal of the Cupid Project is to bring joy to elderly residents in nursing homes during Valentine's season. It is meant to emphasize kindness, philanthropy, and connecting generations, along with its mission to fight loneliness. The radio station then arranges for the cards to be distributed throughout the area. More than 30 schools are participating. Thank you to Mrs. Poe for calling into the station and volunteering Pontiac!
