Schools across Chariton County continue to stay busy this fall, with students engaged in hands-on learning, community events, and activities that bring together families, teachers, and local supporters. Here’s a look at the latest from Salisbury, Keytesville, and Brunswick.
Salisbury R-4
Salisbury High School is offering an All-Season Sports Pass for $150. The pass provides entry to all regular season home sporting events throughout the year. Postseason contests are not included.
To purchase, contact the high school office at 660-388-6442 or email .
Keytesville R-3
Keytesville FCCLA is hosting a Fall Bingo Night on October 15, 2025, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Walking tacos will be available for $5, and popcorn for $1.
Bingo cards are just $1 each, with cash payouts for winners. All ages are welcome, and proceeds will support FCCLA travel expenses.
Students at Keytesville have also been active in learning and hands-on projects. Sixth graders recently learned about flag etiquette from Staff Sergeant Lail of Columbia, who shared the importance of respecting and honoring the U.S. flag.
Meanwhile, fifth graders participated in the annual Egg Drop Challenge. Students worked through the engineering and design process—identifying problems, brainstorming, designing, testing, and redesigning—to create devices that protected their eggs during a drop.
All five student groups successfully completed the challenge, with three succeeding on the first attempt and two more after a redesign.
Mrs. Meyer expressed thanks to her mother and Mrs. Enyeart for providing eggs, and to Mrs. Green for preparing them.
Brunswick R-2
The Brunswick FBLA chapter kicked off the school year with a Yard Game Extravaganza for new and returning members. Students enjoyed basketball, volleyball, cornhole, and other games at the park, with snacks provided by the chapter.
The evening was organized by the officer team as a way to welcome members and build community.
In the classroom, Brunswick eighth graders explored history through hands-on play. Students learned about the daily lives of Native peoples from the Mississippian era by participating in traditional games such as Moccasin and Hidden Ball, Stick and Ring, and Chunkey.
These activities helped students connect with history while developing strategy, observation, and coordination skills.
The district also reminds parents that any changes to a child’s transportation routine must be communicated to the office by 2:30 p.m. each day.
Elementary car pick-up is at 2:55 p.m.
