Bunker R-III School District

Bunker Elementary School is proud to partner with the Reynolds Co. Sheltered Workshop this year! Today, Sal and Karen visited preschool where they each read a book to the students. Karen also made them lollipop ghosts. Sal gave the class an I Spy mini quilt. The students loved their visitors!

Special thanks to our friends at People’s Community Bank of Bunker for paying Pep Club members entry fees last night so our students could come out and support the Lady Eagles in the semi-final round of the district tournament. Even though the Lady Eagles volleyball season came to an end, the girls (and Pep Club) stayed strong throughout the match and didn’t go down without a fight! #ProudToBeAnEagle
