Fourteen area sixth through eighth-grade students participated in Missouri State University-West Plains’ (MSU-WP) Summer Scholars Academy. The students participated in several classes and hands-on activities in the areas of science, technology, engineering, art, and math, organizers said. Jacob Poulette, assistant professor of computer graphics and programming and one of the academy’s organizers, said students really enjoyed this year’s event, which was the first since 2019 due to the pandemic, and several parents told organizers how much fun their children had. “We hope to do it again next year,” he said. “We are going to plan optimistically but be prepared to face challenges or potential cancellation based on the last few years.”
Students attending included, front row from left, Rose Reeves, Riley Lilly, Kinley Simerson, Kahlan Poulette, Cole Andersen, Sam Elliott, Andrew McWilliams, Hayes McWilliams, Hudson Cox, Tate McWilliams, Adrienne Craig, Ainsley McWilliams, Connor Simerson, and Tucker Keith.
