✨Please help us welcome our next new teacher feature, Mrs. Michele Nickel!✨ About Mrs. Nickel: "I have been teaching for over 15 years in a variety of subjects from middle school to high school. I moved last year from Oklahoma to Missouri. I received my Bachelors in History from the University of Tulsa and earned my teacher certification from NSU Tahlequah. I have taught science, history and FACS during my years teaching. I still have two children at home, one in 8th grade and one in 10th grade. I enjoy participating in a variety of hobbies from watching my own kids in their activities, softball and band, to gardening to crafts like ceramics and sewing. I am happy to be a new part of the Willow team and can't wait to see what the future holds." Welcome to Bear Nation Mrs. Nickel, we're so glad you're here!🐻 #OneWillow

Yesterday we celebrated MO Beef Day! All three schools were educated on beef by our Willow Springs FFA officers. The elementary students were given coloring pamphlets and got to meet Hazel the heifer! Middle school and high school students watched a presentation, received stress balls in the form of cows, and also got to see Hazel the heifer! Students were served spaghetti with fresh local beef for lunch yesterday and learned about the importance and benefits of fresh local meat and produce. The Mo Beef Kids program, which Willow Springs Schools participate in, connects schools and their food service professionals to local cattle farmers and ranchers to “beef” up school lunches. #OneWillow
