Please note that today's Middle School Drama Performance has been CANCELLED. Unfortunately, key performers are absent from school today. Mr. Winters thanks everyone for their support and is excited for future productions from the Middle School Drama Class!

It’s relationships like these that help make our community a better place. This past week, Republic People’s Pantry generously donated a whole truck bed of oranges, bananas, pears, and apples to Republic Elementary School, helping provide fresh fruit snacks for our students.

Thank you for your kindness and continued support of our kids—we are truly grateful! 🍎🍌🍐🍊

Way to go, Christopher!

This holiday season, the Republic School District was proud to complete its second annual Santa’s Workshop, an event that reflects the strength of our schools and the support of our community. Opportunities like this are possible because of the continued partnership and generosity of our community members, who help ensure our students have meaningful experiences beyond the classroom.

This year, Santa’s Workshop served more students than ever before. We were honored to provide 138 elementary students and 84 middle and high school students the opportunity to thoughtfully select gifts for immediate family members, distributing more than 850 gifts in total. This experience allowed students to learn the value of generosity, responsibility, and giving back—lessons that extend far beyond the holiday season.

We are deeply grateful to the many individuals who worked together to make this event a success. Our STACC students played a vital role over two days by assisting participants with shopping and wrapping gifts. We also thank our building support advisors; STACC advisor Theresa Misner; School Counselor Cindy Watson; Communities in Schools for their wrapping donations and advisor support; Lisa McKenzie and Brandi Abdallah; and RYAC advisor Brittany Kersten for their dedication and leadership.

A special thank you goes to our volunteers, Caleb McKenzie and Payton Booher, whose time and effort helped ensure every gift was wrapped with care.

Santa’s Workshop is a strong example of how community support directly impacts students—creating experiences that build character, compassion, and connection. Thank you for continuing to invest in our schools and in opportunities that make a lasting difference for our students and families.

Earlier this week, some of our 5th grade students needed a little extra support with learning fractions. To make the lesson fun and meaningful, they had the opportunity to make a “muffin in a cup” with Mrs. McKenzie. 🧁

Not only were the muffins delicious, but the activity gave students a hands-on, real-world example of how fractions are used in everyday life. Learning through cooking made the concept come alive and helped turn math into an engaging and practical experience.
