We are thrilled and deeply grateful to announce the official launch of the Scott City Elementary Backpack Program. This has been made possible by the incredible generosity of the 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and the 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲!
Their support allows us to honor a true hero: Aden Perry. Aden, a Carnegie Hero Award Recipient, was defined by his noble qualities and bravery, having performed a final, selfless act of kindness.
December 11th would have marked Aden’s 21st birthday. To celebrate his enduring legacy, the 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 has sponsored 𝟐𝟏 Scott City Elementary students, ensuring they receive backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food for weekends and breaks throughout the entire school year!
The 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 truly embodies its mission to "help those in need." As a special, sweet touch, every child will also receive a packet of Swedish Fish or Watermelon Sour Patch Kids—one of Aden’s favorites—to make these backpacks extra joyful!
Thank you 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 and 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, for your powerful act of kindness and for helping us kick off this vital program. We are truly inspired by you!
𝐁𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝, 𝐁𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥.

🎭 Meet Izabel, who will be making her debut as Juror 2 in 12 Angry Jurors!
“I'm a freshman in high school, and I decided to audition because of my love for acting and to help me with public speaking. I’ve always loved acting but never had the chance to be in a play before. I’m so grateful to have gotten the role of Juror 2 and hope to participate in many more plays in the future.
My character, Juror 2, is very shy—I relate to her because I can be really shy at times too. Even though she doesn’t always hold an opinion of her own, she always does what she believes is right.”
Come see Izabel and the SCHS Drama Club perform 12 Angry Jurors on Nov. 21 at 6 PM and Nov. 22 at 2 PM at the SCHS FEMA Building! 🎟️ #SCWeR1

They joined more than 80 JAG students from across SEMO for team-building activities, leadership challenges, and even tackled a 40-foot cargo net and zip line!
Proud of these students for stepping out of their comfort zones and representing Scott City so well! 🚀💛 #SCWeR1

🎭 Meet Pachrik, who will be taking the stage as Juror 1 – the Foreman in 12 Angry Jurors!
“I like DND and other games of the sort. I like Greek mythology and Greek theater, and I’ve always wanted to be an actor or voice actor. Foreman is a small, petty man who is surprised with the authority he has. He handles himself quite well—he’s not overly bright, but he’s dogged.”
Come see Pachrik and the rest of the SCHS Drama Club perform 12 Angry Jurors on Nov. 21 at 6 PM and Nov. 22 at 2 PM at the SCHS FEMA Building! 🎟️ #SCWeR1

Each year, all Missouri school districts receive an Annual Performance Report (APR) from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). This report measures academic growth and success in key areas such as test scores, attendance, graduation rates, college and career readiness, and more — providing a “report card” for district performance.
We are proud to share that Scott City R-1 earned an APR ranking of 151 out of 553 districts statewide! This accomplishment reflects the dedication, teamwork, and commitment of our students, staff, and families. 💙💛
You can find results directly at www.dese.mo.gov:
➡️ Go to School Data → Data Portal
➡️ Select Scott City R-1 School District
➡️ Choose School Performance and Accountability and open the 2025 MSIP6 APR Summary Report – Public
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s building principal or the district office.
