Every job within our school district is crucial to the health and success of our students. Without cafeteria staff, we cannot feed our children. As you likely know, a number of our students depend on the school to provide two nutritious meals a day because their home situation does not provide this for them. Some of our students only eat while they are at school. Let that sink in. If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back, please consider applying to work in one of our cafeterias. YOU WILL BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! We need your help! Apply today: https://capegirardeau.tedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.aspx?JobID=80

Alma Schrader will have a therapy dog for the 2022-2023 school year.

Maggie is a rescue pup from SEMO Pets and the pilot dog in a new program aimed at making therapy dogs more affordable for schools while giving a homeless pet a loving home.
