South Gray Schools 2026-27 District Calendar

Body Venture came to Montezuma! Our Kindergarten through Fourth grade students from Montezuma & Copeland schools were able to experience the human body from a whole new perspective today. They entered the lunch room and became a piece of food! They learned about the brain, mouth, stomach, small intestine, heart, lungs, bones, muscles, skin. They learned about how to fuel and move their bodies well. A HUGE thank you to all of the parents, High School students, teachers and staff who volunteered their time for set up, present and tear down. You all made this work! The fifth graders weren't able to attend due to scheduling conflicts, but did get to walk through the exhibit themselves and read the information! We are thankful for the flexibility of Mr. Jonathan from KSDE for allowing these students to go through the exhibit.

I am excited to announce Tabor College student Kyra Shewey will be doing her student teaching in Montezuma Elementary in the spring of 2027.

Her father Stan is a banker in Meade and her mother, Rebecca, is a long time educator in the Meade school district. Welcome to South Gray Miss Shewey💙⚔️🖤
