FROM THE DESK OF THE

SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Beverly Deis

As most of you know, the Polo R-VII School District in

conjunction with the City of Polo and the Polo R-VII Education

Foundation, received a Community Development Block Grant

written in the spring of 2013 for a new Early Childhood

Education Center. The Early Childhood Education Center will

be located just north of the school. Hopefully, construction will

begin in late August and with construction comes numerous

inconveniences. One of the main inconveniences will be with

the large parking lot north of the school, as we are planning on

using the north side of the parking lot for construction traffic.

However, even if we lose some parking spaces for football

games for one season, it will be worth it when the project is

completed. If you have questions regarding the project (or any

other questions), please feel free to call me at the school.

The year is going by quickly as we will soon have

graduation ceremonies at Polo R-VII School. Summer School

will begin on Tuesday, May 27. Please contact Mrs. Palmer or

Mr. Ross if you have questions about Summer School.

As always, Polo R-VII School District welcomes visitors

to our school. Please check in with the Central Office any time

you are visiting the school.

ASK ALLI

1. Why do girls obsess over prom?

Prom is a chance for girls to dress up for an evening.

Around here, girls don’t get to dress up in fancy dresses except

for this occasion which is only once a year. Every girl has a side

where she loves to dress up and have all eyes on her as she

enters a room. Prom is the best place for this to happen.

Personally as a girl I love buying the fancy dress with the high

heels and having a chance to get out somewhere more expensive.

2. What color of prom dress should I wear?

When picking out the perfect dress there are a few things

you must remember. First off if you’re pale don’t pick a pale

color. Try to avoid colors like yellow and white, instead do a

color that’s either bright or dark. If you’re dark complexioned

you can rock any color. Secondly think about your hair. For light

hair girls, light colors aren’t your friend. Dark hair girls you’re

lucky, you can wear almost every color. Hope this helps!

3. How can I stop rumors from spreading?

First off, if you’re not involved then don’t get involved.

Second, don’t be the person who gets caught spreading them. No

one likes people who spread rumors! Finally, if you hear a rumor

that you know isn’t true, speak up and correct who is telling you

the rumor. Rumors are created by those who are jealous. Rumors

are hurtful, so be the person who stands up for what’s right.

Polo’s 5th

and 6th

Grade Girls Basketball By: Mikayla Reavis

During the basketball season, the 5th

and 6th

grade girls’ team

won two games during their season. They lost two games, playing a

total of four for their season, not counting tournaments. This year the

team attended four tournaments, placing in two of them. They placed

2nd

at Osborne and 3rd

at the Braymer tournament.

The girls were coached by Sarah Rechtermann, who was also

the coach the previous year. There were 11 girls on the basketball

team this year. “Many of the girls showed a desire to learn and

improve the team through hard work,” said Coach Rechtermann. “One

of our biggest weaknesses was many of our girls would fight for the

ball and that would lead to potential foul trouble.” She also said that

one of their biggest accomplishments this year was working together

as a team. “The girls knew what they needed to do individually and as

a team to run each play.”

Sarah said that she was proud of all of the girls because every single

one of them improved over the season. “At the beginning of the year,

many of these girls were very timid and didn’t fight for the ball, but

by the end of the season, these girls turned into Panthers.”

Rechtermann stated. The team had a very successful season this year.

The parents of the girls, and Coach Rechtermann were very proud of

the hard work and enthusiasm the girls had throughout the season.

Saying Goodbye to Part of the Panther

Family By: Danielle Allen

Mrs. Patty Dixon has been teaching at Polo since the 1997-98

school year, 17 years ago! Her favorite part about being a teacher is

helping her students understand that they’ll be happier liking what they

have to do than doing what they like to do. ‘’I will miss the students

very much. I will also miss the many friends I have made with Polo R-

VII Family.’’ After retirement Mrs. Dixons’ plans are to visit her

grandchildren more often, catch up on much needed sleep, enjoy

gardening and being outdoors, getting organized at home and

completing many projects she has put off.

‘’Over the past 34 years I have made a livin’ doing what I have

always wanted to do- TEACH! I have made life out of what I have

given to many children and their families. I always wanted to teach my

students how to live this life on earth and face struggles and improve

their worth, not just the lessons in a book but how to choose the proper

path wherever they may go, to understand truth and know right from

wrong and gather all the beauty of a flower, to dance or sing a song. I

hope I have helped children to grow in wisdom and in grace. I feel that

we both won and I have filled my place, doing my part for character,

confidence, and happiness in many hearts.’’ – Mrs., Dixon

Mrs. Sherrie Silvey, kindergarten and first grade teacher, is

retiring after 14 years. Since 2000 Mrs. Silvey has been a member of

the Polo R-VII staff. Mrs. Silvey loves teaching. Her favorite part of

teaching is when the kids ‘’get it’’, and ‘’they are so excited they beg

me to show them more or they want to research a subject further.’’ She

also said she gets a ‘’kick out’’ of their amusing comments and

reactions. ‘’Light bulb’’ moments are one of her favorites that she will

miss. She loves seeing students use the knowledge they are learning. ‘’I

will also miss the daily, unconditional hugs (Kindergartners & first

grades – past & present, and give great hugs). After retirement Mrs.

Silvey plans are to enjoy family time – grandchildren in particular,

traveling with and without grandkids. She would also like to take back

up guitar lessons. She would like to keep in touch with the Polo student

and staff, and do a little substituting when she can.

‘’I have truly enjoyed working in the Polo school system. I have

enjoyed the camaraderie that can be found with the K-12 staff, as well

as the districts patrons and parents. Polo R-VII District is a wonderful

place and makes great memories.’’ –Mrs. Silvey

Mrs. Connie Hogan, kindergarten teacher, has been a part of the

Polo staff for 21 years. Helping each student succeed and work to the

best of their ability is one of her favorite things about being a teacher.

She has made many wonderful memories over the past years. ‘’I will

miss the students the most. I will also miss the staff and my Polo

School Family. Mrs. Hogan plans on spending more time with her

grandchildren, she says she also might get a ‘’new’’ job or travel a

little. ‘’The sky is the limit!—said Mrs. Dixon

Annual Green Hills Banquet By: Billie Thompson

This year the annual Green Hills Banquet was held at Polo

High School on March 28, 2014. Most of the school organizations

and clubs helped to raise money for their members. The

organizations that helped out were the Polo Pride Band, the Polo

FBLA chapter, and the Polo SADD chapter. Each organization

made money for their contributions to the banquet. They each had

their own responsibilities for the event. The FBLA ran the kids zone

where they entertained the children of members. They had a movie

playing, a bunch of carnival type games and they even had a cake

walk. The SADD chapter directed people on where into the parking

lot and helped the handicapped to the door with golf carts. The band

not only served the meal to the members but also set up and cleaned

the event.

Many people attended this banquet. There was a tasty free

meal provided which consisted of brisket, potatoes, a cookie, and a

piece of bread. They gave multiple prizes for members of all ages.

A few of the prizes that were given were money, toys, and bikes.

This year student had a blast not only be at the banquet, but work

the banquet. If you missed the banquet this year, make sure you

don’t miss it next year.

Third Graders Phone a Friend for Fun

Polo Third Graders in Mrs. Dixon’s and Mrs. Perry’s class took

a field trip on Wednesday, April 23rd

to Green Hills Telephone

Company. The students took a tour of the building after participating in

the PIE-Partners in Education Program for the 2013-2014 School year.

During the visit, the students saw a fun internet video, were given a

brief description of what the employees do as we passed by their desk,

trace a call demo, fiber splicing, locationg cable and were given treats

from Sherryl Garcia and Bobbi Mattox, our tour guides. During the

school year, the students learned history of the telephone, online safety

and how to use a telephone directory.

Polo Junior and Senior Prom By: Hannah Beshears

The Polo junior and senior prom was Saturday April 26,

2014. The theme for prom this year was Club 2K14. Prom was held

at the Polo Community building from 8:00-11:00 pm. The DJ for

prom this year was Curtis Floray. After Prom was held in the Polo

High School gym. The doors opened at 11:30 pm, and no one was

allowed in after 12:30 am. During after prom, the students had

plenty of options for fun activities. According to the

sponsors/advisers for the after prom committee, there was a photo

booth for friends to take pictures together, a monster dual mega

slide that was as tall as the gym, gladiator jousting, 3 on 3

basketball, and El Diablo the mechanical bull. Plus, refreshments,

frozen drinks and all you can eat pizza was served. After Prom

ended at 3:00 am, and breakfast was also served at that time.

Club 2K14 prom was an overall success. With over thirty

couples attending everyone had a great time!

Contest Season is in the Air for FFAers By: Lisa Tackett

Contest season is in the air for the students in the FFA chapter here

at Polo High School. They have been busy these last few weeks

studying for their particular contests that they chose. They went to

4 contests.

On March 25th

, there were four freshmen that went to

districts for FFA Knowledge. Those four students were Jennifer

Farmer, Averie Heil, Shelby Stump, and Billie Thompson; Jenni

Farmer and Billie Thompson tied for the highest scoring

individuals on the team. Out of 30 Knowledge teams in the

Northwest area these four Polo girls placed 11th

with a score of 169.

Unfortunately they did not make it to state this year but all of the

girls did a great job this season.

On April 1st, Polo FFA students on the agronomy, dairy

cattle, dairy foods, entomology, farm management, floriculture,

forestry, livestock, meats, nursery and landscaping, poultry, and

soils went to their district contests. With so many district contest

areas and students involved, we will break this down for you.

Agronomy placed 8th

out of 25 schools with a score of 1,738. The

members on this team were sophomores Dylan Deornellis, Erik

Johnson, Austin McKinzie, and Parker Smith. Erik Johnson was the

highest scoring individual on this team. Dairy cattle placed 25th

out

of 27, with a score of 638. The members on the team were

freshman Austin VanOster and Ryan Virtue. Austin VanOster was

the highest scoring individual on this team. Dairy foods placed 18th

out of 28 with a score of 539. The dairy foods team consisted of

seniors Kayla Eisman, Kolton Roark, Jonathan Shelton, and

freshman Zackery Phillips. Kayla Eisman was the highest scoring

individual for this team.

Entomology placed 22nd

out of 27 teams with a score of

1,002. The team had sophomores Cheyanne Dye, Danielle Gurwell,

Mikayla Reavis, and Lisa Tackett. Mikayla Reavis was the highest

scoring individual on this team. Farm management placed 7th

out of

24 with a score of 595. Juniors Cati Boruch, Sidney Copeland,

Mattie Curp, and Senior Alex Johnson were all on the team. Alex

Johnson not only got highest individual on the team but also out of

all 80 kids he placed 1st in the entire contest. Floriculture placed

19th

out of 33 teams with their score being 1,157. The floriculture

team had seniors Logan Stump, Loren Wagner, and Juniors

out of 23 teams. The team had seniors

Houston Stone and Justin Thompson along with juniors Wiley

Martin and Adriana Segar. Houston Stone was the highest scoring

individual for this Polo team. The livestock team placed 16th

freshmen. The team included Autumn Burton, Jake Leonard, and

team. The meats team placed 12th

out of the 26 teams that were

there. Meats included juniors Kayla Carr, Jessica Farmer, Jacob

Hicks, and Skylar Howe. Jacob Hicks earned the highest scorer for

this team.

Nursery and landscaping got 16th

out of 17 teams, due to

having only having one week to study for the district contest. The

nursery team had all sophomores Hannah Beshears, Emily Fickess,

Michael Leamer, and Adrianna Staus. Michael Leamer was their

high scorer. The poultry team placed 20th

out of 20 teams, but they

On April 24th

-26th

the agronomy team, farm management

team, and soils team all went to Columbia for State FFA contest.

All of the Polo FFA students did a great job studying for their

selected contests this season. Even though some of them had to

study for two contests.

FBLA Has a Successful Streak in 2014 By: Aimee Walker

This semester has been a very busy one for the Polo FBLA

chapter! The FBLA members competed in the District Leadership

Conference in Trenton, Missouri in February, hosted a Senior Citizens

Prom in March and a Community Blood Drive in the spring. The FBLA

State Leadership Conference was held April 13th

-15th

down in

Columbia, Missouri.

In February, Polo’s FBLA traveled to Trenton, Missouri to

North Central Missouri College to compete in the District Leadership

Conference. Each year, the FBLA members take online tests or

compete in live interviews for districts. Fifteen Polo FBLA members

went to compete. Out of those members, seven qualified for the State

Leadership Conference in Columbia, Missouri.

On March 15th

, the FBLA members hosted a Senior Citizens

Prom in the school’s multi-purpose room. Each year, Polo’s FBLA

hosts a “prom” night for the senior citizens of the surrounding

communities. The theme for this year was the Roaring Twenties. They

had an outstanding turn out of about eighty people! Dinner was served,

with a silent auction following after. The members and their sponsor,

Ms. Arth, took a lot of time and effort on this to make it a memorable

night for everyone.

The Community Blood Drive was held on the 20th

of March in

the multipurpose room at the school. Several FBLA members

committed to working tables & volunteered from an hour to a few

hours at a time. Each year, once in the fall and once in the spring, the

Polo FBLA hosts a Community Blood Drive. The goal for donations

this year was 35 units of blood. That goal was met with 48 units of

blood donated, and 55 donors who came and either gave blood or

attempted too. Sometimes people have low iron, a heart rate that is too

high, or weigh less than 100 pounds, which makes them not eligible to

donate blood. So out of 55 willing donors, there were 48 units of blood

donated.

In April, FBLA President Mason Misel, Vice President Tristan

Rardon, Secretary Aimee Walker, Treasurer Jennifer Adams, Jacob

Hicks, Joely Hicks and Skylar Howe traveled to Columbia, Missouri

for the State Leadership Conference. Mason, Jacob, and Skylar all

qualified in the Personal Finance test. Joely qualified in the Word

Processing test. Tristan, Jennifer, and Aimee qualified as a group for

the Community Service straight to state contest, which just happened to

be this year’s Senior Citizen prom. Unfortunately, none of them

advanced to the National Leadership Conference in Nashville,

Tennessee in June.

All of the members have had several opportunities to be

involved and active in their FBLA chapter. Hopefully, more

opportunities come along that the organization can be involved in to

further prepare them to be future business leaders.

On Your Mark, Get Set, It’s Track Season! By: Jessica Farmer

The school year is starting to fly by faster and faster now that

everything is winding down except for track! It is just getting started!

The Polo Middle School track team was supposed to go to South

Harrison on April the 14th

, but was postponed due to some random

crazy weather. It will be rescheduled to a later date.

The track team will be involved in five different meets. They

will travel to North Andrew on the 17th

of April, Lexington the 22nd

,

Lawson the 29th

, and Worth County on the 8th

of May. They had better

get their running shoes on, because they have a busy schedule ahead of

them!

Mrs. Fickess is the coach of the middle school track team which

is a group of 18 students. These students include: 7th

grader Madison

Baughman, Shelby Copeland, Sommer Gurwell, Brittany Sperry, and

Taylor Wagner, Nickolas Myers, and Jared Robison. The 8th

graders

are: Sierra Dye, Amanda Hilburn, Makenzie Jay, Megan Latimer,

Teagan Logan, Drake Burton, Luke Cory, James Fleener, Dalton

Frazier, Garrett Jones, and Dylan Sales.

This is a great group of athletes but it will be difficult to spread

only 18 into each event. Mrs. Fickess said that there are a few really

good distance runners. There are some students that will have their four

events filled but also need to go on a relay team. There are many

challenges to overcome but she believes that this group will be just fine

and finish strong!

With all the meets that the middle school will attend, Coach

Fickess feels that Lawson will be the toughest. The plan at the Lawson

meet is to separate the 7th

and 8th

grade into their own events. Being

with their own age group will be helpful for the students, but this meet

will take a lot longer than any other meet.

This year has been very fun and interesting for all the students

and Mrs. Fickess. The students have a nickname for their group. At

breakdowns of huddles, the student will scream “Baby Savers!” The

story behind this was from one day at practice when they found a

toddler wandering around the streets about a block away from his

home. They actually found his home and brought the toddler back.

Apparently, the mother was on the phone when the child escaped the

baby lock. This was one of the many memorable events that have taken

place this season. Mrs. Fickess also mentioned that during every

practice, there seems to always be someone that farts during sit-ups. I

thought that was pretty funny! This year should be very successful and

continue to be fun.

To Cheer or Not? Is That Even a Question? By: Mattie Curp

Cheerleading tryouts are one of the two athletic tryouts that

Polo R-7 actually holds the other being for color guard. Girls were

running around frantic trying to make sure that they had their cheers

memorized perfectly for the big day. Coaches, cheerleading

coordinators, and girls alike ran around April 7th

through April 9th,

ensuring that the tryouts were the best Polo has ever had.

Four women ran the cheer tryouts this year and worked very

hard to make sure that it was fair for everyone. Kim Templeton has

been working off and on with the cheerleading program since 2010,

first as the Varsity football cheerleading coach, now as the

cheerleading coordinator. Varsity Football Cheerleading coach,

Michelle Curp, has been a coach at Polo since 2010 and started with

the junior high squad. Varsity Basketball Cheerleading coach,

Danielle Green, started coaching for us last year. Leanne Meadows,

Junior High Cheerleading coach, was a new coach for Polo this year,

but will not be continuing coaching next year due to scheduling

conflicts.

On April 9th

, the tryouts were held at 5:30 p.m. for both

Varsity and Junior High. The Varsity girls did two cheers they learned

at practice and one that they came up with on their own, whereas the

Junior High did one cheer learned at practice and one of their own.

The judges this year were Braymer and Richmond’s Varsity

Cheerleading coaches, both of which are competing next year. When

being scored, the participant’s teachers are given an evaluation sheet

on the said person’s behavior in class. These scores are then added

with tryout scores and those with the highest overall scores are the

next year’s new cheerleaders.

The results for the 2014-2015 cheer squads are:

Varsity Football Cheerleading- Danielle Allen, Cati Boruch, Mattie

Curp, Skylar Howe, Adriana Segar, Emily Fickess, Adriana Staus,

Stormy Farmer, Jorgia Cory, Jenni Farmer, Joely Hicks, and Billie

Thompson

Vasity Basketball Cheerleading- Skylar Howe, Jorgia Cory, Stormy

Farmer, Emily Fickess, Adrianna Staus, Jenni Farmer, Joely Hicks,

Billie Thompson, Megan Latimer, and Sierra Dye

Middle School Cheerleading- Maddy Baughman, Mariah Clevenger,

Shelby Copeland, Sommer Gurwell, Kallie Heil, Brittany Sperry,

Taylor Wagner, and Jordan Rash

Track Stars By: Joely Hicks

This year has been going great for the Polo High School

track athletes. Jill Rardon, the short distance coach, is excited about

everyone’s personal records, the nice weather, everyone’s great

attitude, and that her track kids are fun to coach. Coach Rardon sees

this season ending with the girls being district champs for the 3rd

year in a row, and she thinks the boys will end up on the top also. I

asked her how the season has been going, she replied, “I have an

excellent young team with a lot of enthusiasm, everyone works

hard.”

Jonathan Pickrell is the high school track coach. For distance

runners, Coach Pickrell believes that both teams have potential to

do great at districts, but it depends on how hard they keep working

and how much they want it. He said, “Everyone is getting really

good times, a lot of new kids that have never went out for track are

impressing me with their times. This year we have strong relays and

have a lot of potential to make it to state.” Coach Pickrell is excited

because it is his first year as a track coach and is he ready to go back

down to state. This year watch his kids compete with bigger schools

this season.

Cati Boruch is a junior at Polo and is also one of the captains

of the high school track team. She is also very excited about this

year. Cati said that everyone seems to be getting along great, and

they are improving their times more and more almost every meet.

Cati is very happy to be one of the captains on the team and is

thankful. Good luck to the high school track team and the last of

their season, I am excited on how they will end out the season.
