Next week, the Inman Eagle Honor Choir, the Junior High Varsity Tenor/Bass Choir, and the High School Nixapella choirs will represent our district at the state music educator conference at the Lake of the Ozarks. It is very rare to have three choirs selected from one school district. Only four other times in the more than 80 year history of MMEA has this occurred, and Nixa has accomplished this feat in back-to-back years. Thank you to the Nixa community for supporting the arts👏.

On January 20, the Nixa Aerial Drone Team traveled to Wichita, KS, to compete in the first drone tournament of the season. The competition consisted of 15 teams from Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. ⚙️

Team 2319 also placed 2nd 🥈 in the tournament's Pilot/Autonomous SKILLS portion. Nixa's Team 2319X went undefeated in the Teamwork Tournament Elimination Round and was named Tournament Champions! 🥇

Nixa High School students competed at a Scholar Bowl tournament in Willard on Thursday, Jan. 22. The varsity team placed second 🥈, and the JV team went 2-1 for the night and placed third 🥉 over Willard. They will compete in the next tournament in Ozark. 👏

Excellent job, scholars! 🏆️

🎵 Kyla See is our Junior High Artist of the Week, proudly sponsored by Lucid TLC Arts! 👩‍🎨

“Kyla exudes positivity in every class, rehearsal, and performance. She is the definition of a team leader and our department is better as a whole because of her. She encourages her classmates and fellow cast members while always being the first to jump into anything that is asked of her. Kyla has excellent comedic timing and is a talented multi-faceted performer. Thank you for lifting up our theatre family, Kyla!" - Ashlyn Elliott, Nixa Junior High Theatre department head ⭐️

"I am more than proud to be a part of the Nixa Theatre community and how it has changed me. Being a member of this wonderful program has made me more confident, and creative. I never thought I’d be rolling on the ground pretending to be a robber until I walked onto our “stage.” I love how I know no matter how ridiculous my monologues are, how silly my movements are, or even if I mess up or stutter, I will not be judged or laughed at. I am so grateful that we have such an amazing and loving theatre community and could not be more elated to continue my acting career with Nixa." - Kyla See 🎭️

High Pointe Elementary third graders learned how to write by creating their own recipes. Students had a blast following a recipe for Grimace Shakes. It was a delicious and messy time! 🥤

Students from eight school districts had a chance to see a real life musical in person today at the Aetos Center.

To expand their education beyond the classroom, second graders attended "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus."
