Third graders at Freedom Elementary reviewed their science standards in fun ways while rotating through the pumpkin blast, ghost rockets, vacuum power and Tallest Tower stations on Oct. 30, 2025. Students learned about chemical reactions, physical changes and gas – all while watching from a distance as their teacher used calcium carbide and water to blast a pumpkin. They also learned how gas pressure can make their rockets fly and that air pressure created from heat can defy gravity and vacuum water up a tube. They also designed and built towers, applying physics principles.

Missouri Community Service Commission (ServMO) staff visited with Waynesville R-VI AmeriCorps members in October 2025.

State Executive Director Brittany Crabtree and Ciara Cheatum, program officer, visited the facilities and learned more about how AmeriCorps members provide extra support for students and teachers in the classroom to help improve academic achievement. They also visited and learned more about the Snack in a Pack program which is managed by AmeriCorps members. AmeriCorps members also help students feel supported through the many transitions that can occur due to military service.

“This is the only AmeriCorps program in Missouri that is supporting military families - and we were proud to visit directly with members and say thank you for their service,” they stated on ServMO Facebook page.

About Lady Dracula

Step inside the academy, where an unsettling feeling lingers and the sense of being watched never quite fades. Students whisper of strange figures moving through the moonlit halls or the voices when no one is there. And in the heart of it all, behind the royal purple and lightning, she waits. Lady Dracula has awoken once more.
