If you stopped by Maple Elementary today, you would have found a whole lot of celebrating, connecting and, of course, plenty of Warrior spirit! 💚
The morning kicked off with the Warrior Award Winner Breakfast, where each classroom celebrated a student who has made a positive impact in their classroom. Families joined their students for a special breakfast, complete with donuts, smiles and lots of proud moments!
Then it was time to gather for an all-school assembly. Our Maple Warriors were joined by some high school students who have pledged to be drug- and alcohol-free. We love seeing our older Warriors step up as positive role models for our youngest students!
At lunchtime, they celebrated another group of students who made great choices. Students who demonstrated positive behavior while having a substitute teacher earned a pretty awesome reward: lunch with Officer Morales!
Maple also officially kicked off its new Maple Mentors program, welcoming community members into the school to spend time with students. Whether they were talking, playing a game or working on a puzzle together, these simple moments are helping build meaningful connections between our students and their community.
And just when we thought the day couldn't get any better, students wrapped things up with Mentor Buddy Rooms, giving them another chance to connect and build relationships with students from another classroom and have a little fun together.
It was a great day to be a Maple Warrior! 💚

Real World Learning at SHS looks a lot like this. 🫀
Our first-year Biomedical Science students had the opportunity to explore healthcare careers at the Explore Your Future Career Exploration Event, sponsored by the Kansas City Metropolitan Healthcare Council Team.
Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Morgan took students to this hands-on event, which gives students the opportunity to learn about the many career paths available in healthcare, and actually experience some of them. Sometimes the best way to learn is by holding it in your hands, asking questions, trying something new and seeing yourself in a future career.

This summer, Smithville High School senior Abby Adams participated in the Cooperative Youth Conference & Leadership Experience (CYCLE) in Jefferson City, getting a firsthand look at how state government works and connecting with other Missouri students.
Sponsored by Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative, CYCLE brings high school students from across Missouri together for a hands-on leadership experience focused on Missouri government, leadership skills and the cooperative business model. Students also have the opportunity to tour the Capitol, participate in team-building activities and connect with other young leaders from across the state.
We’re proud that Abby had the opportunity to represent Smithville and experience CYCLE firsthand!

Today at Horizon Elementary, Miss Schoonover's 6th graders became ancient scribes as they explored the origins of writing and Cuneiform script. After studying how ancient civilizations recorded history, students got hands-on experience by carving their own names into "clay" (playdough!) using Cuneiform letters.

She has worked with us to do what is best for her students while supporting their classwork as well. She is a great addition to our team and we appreciate her!"

Today, we officially introduced our new Marketing and Communications interns, senior Mia Haddock and sophomore Kohen Waters, to one of the best parts of the job - getting out into our schools and seeing our Warriors in action!
Since it’s game day, Mia and Kohen were dressed in their cheer and football uniforms when we stopped by Eagle Heights Elementary. During indoor recess, the students spotted them and immediately went a little crazy!
Before we knew it, there was a line of students waiting to get their autographs! ⭐️ I think it’s safe to say Mia and Kohen got a pretty memorable welcome to their new internship!
I'm excited to have these two students assisting with Marketing and Communications this year and can’t wait to see all the ways they help us tell the stories of the Smithville School District!
Just a reminder that there is No School on Monday, September 7th. Enjoy the long weekend with family and friends- we'll see you back on Tuesday, ready to kick off another great week!
Happy Way Back When-sday! This week, we’re taking a trip back to the early days of Lady Warrior softball! Here’s a great action shot of a '96 Lady Warrior pitcher bringing the heat from the mound. 💚🥎 Who has memories from this season?
It was HOT, but what a wonderful night to celebrate Warrior softball! 🥎🔥
Thank you to everyone who came out last night to support our student-athletes and help us celebrate the First Pitch Ceremony at the Warriors Softball Field. One of the most meaningful parts of the evening was celebrating the past, present and future of Smithville softball through our ceremonial first pitches—a special reminder of the tradition that brought us here, the team carrying it forward today and the generations still to come.
We are incredibly grateful to our community for its support in passing the April 2025 bond initiative, which made this beautiful new facility possible. What an incredible investment in our students, our programs, and the future of Smithville School District!
And to top it all off—the girls brought home a WIN! 👏
