back to school

Join us on August 30, 2014 for our downtown Sedalia ‘Fitter's 5th Street Back to School Block Party.’ This party will have something for everyone, from students at State Fair Community College to elementary students. We will play games and have contests for prizes...

The kids were very busy this summer if they took advantage of all the programs and festivities that the Sedalia Parks and Recreation set up.  And now, in the fall, with them being back in school - they still wanna have fun.

Last week was the beginning of District 200's school year, and Sacred Heart started a day before them. Today is probably the "real" beginning of the school year since the first two days are normally orientation and acclimation.

Today is day two of school for most kids in Sedalia, or day three if your kids go to Sacred Heart. There's always so much for the adults to get ready. Whether its the transportation schedules or the school shopping, things have to get juggled around.

The Sedalia School District is ready to begin classes on Thursday, Aug. 22. This week, orientation and open houses have been conducted.  While ordinarily parents would bring their kids to schools to see what new teacher they have, this year was a little different.

Kids, this weekend is a big deal for those of us in Pettis County.  The Pettis County Commission is going to encourage retail sales by offering a Sales Tax Holiday.

It may be the end of July, but school is set to be back in session again very soon. There are a lot of parents who have started to get school supplies for the kids. There are many who have grown accustomed to the Back To School sales and Sales Tax Holiday. This year, the Back To School Tax Holiday in Missouri will be held from Friday, Aug. 2, through Sunday, Aug. 4.
