The girls made it home late last night with a little extra hardware to bring back to Cole Camp! While it may not have been the finish we were hoping for, we couldn’t be more proud. Madison and Kaylan competed in two of the toughest STAR Events at the national level and represented Cole Camp with true Bluebird pride, professionalism, and determination.
Results:
Madison Paxson--Silver, Level 3 Focus on Children
Kaylan Poe--Gold, Level 2 Sports Nutrition
A heartfelt thank you goes to Superintendent Mrs. Hess, Principal Mrs. Tinney, the Cole Camp Board of Education, and Mr. and Mrs. Paxson and Mr. and Mrs. Poe for your incredible support not only in helping make our trip to Washington, D.C. possible, but also for encouraging and supporting the girls throughout the year as they developed their projects.

With love from Washington, D.C. to Cole Camp,

What an incredible whirlwind the last two days have been!
From our annual pin trading tradition to the Rock the Red Rally, FCCLA Business Session, Fashion Show, and Awards Recognition Session, every moment has been filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and make memories. We even managed to squeeze in a few iconic Washington, D.C. sights along the way!
None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors.

Our time has been packed from event to event as we cheered on the Washington Nationals, attended the FCCLA STAR Events Showcase (it was so crowded we couldn’t capture photos, but the energy was incredible!), and hopped aboard a hop-on, hop-off tour to take in as many of our nation’s iconic landmarks as possible.
We’re making the most of every moment and creating memories that will last a lifetime!
A huge THANK YOU to the amazing sponsors helping make this experience possible. Keep an eye out for their Flat Stanleys in today’s photo dump!

Madison Paxson and Kaylan Poe are having an incredible time representing our chapter at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference and STAR Events in Washington, D.C.!
Since arriving on July 6, they’ve experienced the excitement of the Opening Session, competed in their respective STAR Events, and explored the beautiful exhibits at the Smithsonian National Zoo.
Their adventure is just getting started! Be sure to follow along over the next few days as we share more photos, highlights from their trip, and updates from Nationals.

Construction and renovation work continues this summer at Cole Camp R-1. Crews worked today to install improved drainage systems to pull water away from the circle driveway at the front of the building. It is a GREAT day to be a Bluebird!
As you make plans for the year ahead, we've listed the dates school will not be in session below. We know family trips create wonderful memories, and when possible, we encourage families to plan vacations during these breaks. Consistent attendance helps students stay connected to learning and make the most of each school day. Thank you for your support!
Grant Rodriguez and Dasch Kaiser represented the Cole Camp Bluebirds in the Sedalia Area All Star baseball game. Great job boys!
