Last set of pictures of our preK class exploring fine motor skills.

More pictures of preK working on fine motor skills.

Preschool has been exploring fine motor skills and exploring lots of different ways to strengthen our finger muscles to help us become better writers! We have used Play-Doh, spaghetti and Cheerios, tape, wooden beads and pipe cleaners as well as nuts and bolts! These activities seem little but provide huge impacts on those fine motor skills.

We have very exciting news to share with you! Skyline R-II School has been approved to provide FREE breakfasts and lunches for ALL students! We are able to provide this through a DESE program called Provision 2.

A couple of things we wanted to mention:
* Under Provision 2 guidelines, we still had to collect and submit free and reduced lunch applications. If you have not yet turned yours in, please do so.
*A few of you have already paid for student meals, we have not deposited any of these payments. The office will reach out to you to see if you want to come pick up your payment, or have it sent home with your child.

We are so pleased to be able to offer free meals to all of our students! For any questions, please call the office at 417-683-4874.
