On Friday, May 29, 2026, Waynesville R-VI bus drivers will practice their summer school routes in preparation for the first day of summer school on Monday, June 1, 2026. Parents and community members may notice buses traveling throughout the district as drivers rehearse schedules and routes to help ensure a smooth start to summer school.
Ten Waynesville R-VI Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Launch Teams participated in the 2026 Missouri S&T Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Showcase.
STEM Launch Academy students in grades 3-5 explored how real-world drones can make a meaningful impact by supporting people, animals and conservation efforts. Through research and collaboration, they developed ideas for using drones to deliver food and medical supplies while also monitoring the needs and behaviors of threatened and endangered animals.
Based on feedback and evaluation scores from higher-education faculty and guests at the showcase, Launch Team 5 members Hannah R., Joseph H., Gwyneth E. and Carileigh T. were selected as the Project Based Learning STEM Team of the Year.
“Their project stood out for its originality, creativity and problem-solving, featuring a skywalk that allows visitors to observe animals in a natural setting without disturbing the animals or their habitat,” said Dr. Saralice Campbell, PLTW Launch teacher.
Team 5 members received certificates, programmable robots and other prizes.
