PALMYRA, Mo. — Members of the Palmyra R-I Board of Education approved the district calendar for the 2022-23 school year during their regular meeting Tuesday.
PALMYRA, Mo. — Palmyra R-I Board of Education members met Tuesday, approving an agreement with L.J. Hart and Company for refinancing the school district’s 2016 and 2017 debt service bonds.
But in 2021, the group will put its money toward a new and popular cause: equity.
Jody Demas, the treasurer, said the foundation raised $9,500 this year. It issued most of the money in giant check form to the Palmyra Board of Education at a May 12 public meeting.
Demas and her fellow residents asked school administrators to use the funds to add equity programs to the school community, and the administrators agreed.
Palmyra Principal Lisa Sabo will use it to pay the stipend for the staff advisor to a new Black student union, which has already started meeting. She also plans on paying for an expanded lineup of assembly speakers, both for the wider school community and for individual clubs and classrooms, who come from Black, LGBTQ plus and Latinx backgrounds.

Late turnover dooms Van-Far

Down by a single point with just 17 ticks on the clock, Van-Far called a time out to set up a potential game-winner against Canton at the Palmyra Tournament on Thursday. The Indians got the ball in and began to move the ball, searching for a lane. But a turnover at the wrong moment put an end to their aspirations. Canton translated this into a lay up and the ballgame, 62-59. “Despite all the issues throughout the game we still had a chance to win,” said Van-Far head coach Pat Connaway. “We just didn’t execute enough down the stretch and didn’t get stops when we needed them.”
