Kindergarten Screening / Enrollment Day for the 2023/2024 School year will be April 4. If your child will be 5 before August 1, now is the time to begin thinking about Kindergarten enrollment requirements. The following items are required for enrollment: immunization records, state issued birth certificate, social security card and proof of residence. Did you know that your child can receive the immunizations that are needed to attend Kindergarten anytime on or after his/her fourth birthday? You do not need to wait until age five. They encourage you to have your child fully immunized now and bring the immunization record to school on the day of Kindergarten screening. If you have questions regarding required immunizations, please feel free to contact Nikki Piepmeier, School Nurse, at 660-476-2161, option #7.

Are you itching to get outside, breathe in the fresh air and feel the comfort and joy of working in the soil that has been prepared for gardening? If you’re yearning to grow flowers or vegetables but are short on space or have limited mobility, give container gardening and/or raised bed gardening a try. Container gardening allows for creativity in a small space and, since plants can be moved inside in the spring and fall, lets gardeners extend the growing season. Also, container and raised bed gardens are less prone to disease and insect infestation than traditional gardens. University of MO Extension Agronomist, Terry Halleran, is offering a workshop at the St. Clair County Library in Osceola Thursday, April 6 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to answer questions about container and raised bed gardening. Some of the workshop topics include choosing the right kind of container, what types of plants work best in container gardening, and benefits of container and raised bed gardening. To register for the class contact the MU Extension St. Clair County office at (417) 646-2419 or send an email to stclairco@missouri.edu. Cost of the class is $10.00. Registration is due by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5. Contact us immediately if you need accommodations because of a disability, need to relay emergency medical information or need special arrangements if the building is evacuated. The office is located just inside the west door on the 1st floor of the Courthouse.
