Kelso C-7 School District

📣Special Announcement📣 Kelso C-7 is filled with pride and excitement as we share that Mrs. Stacy Creech has been named one of only five finalists in the entire state for the Missouri School Counselor Association’s Counselor of the Year award. Mrs. Creech pours her heart into supporting our students and families every single day. Her care, compassion, and dedication shine through in everything she does. Whether she is guiding students through challenges to celebrating their successes, she gives everything she has. In November, she will be honored at the MSCA statewide conference, and we couldn’t be more proud. This recognition is a reflection of the difference she makes in the lives of our Kelso C-7 community. CONGRATULATIONS, Mrs. Creech! We are so thankful for you!

🌟School Custodian Appreciation Day🌟

Today we pause to recognize and celebrate two special members of our Falcon family—Mr. Ted and Mr. Jeff—for School Maintenance & Custodian Appreciation Day. 💙💛

From the first light of the morning until long after the last student leaves, these two gentlemen are hard at work making sure Kelso C-7 is safe, clean, and welcoming. Whether it’s keeping our classrooms clean, fixing the little things that break, preparing our gym for events, or just offering a friendly smile in the hallway—Mr. Ted and Mr. Jeff pour their hearts into our school each and every day.

💛 Thank you, Mr. Ted and Mr. Jeff, for your kindness, dedication, and pride in taking care of our Falcons. You are appreciated and we are so grateful for all you do!

Help us show them some love today by dropping a big THANK YOU in the comments below! 👇
