Dear Picture Day Coordinator,
Spring Personality Picture Day is coming up, and we need your help spreading the word to families. While Wagner sends reminders directly, parents are far more likely to take action when the message comes from you.
It’s important for families to participate in Spring Picture Day because their purchase directly funds our ability to provide your school with safety and security tools, student recognition programs, and other valuable photography services. School outreach to parents on our behalf is essential to making that possible!

Elsberry's annual Parent Summit is on Wednesday, February 18th, from 6 pm-7:30 pm, doors open at 5:45 pm. Parenting is tough, and there is no instruction manual, but we can learn from each other. Parent Summit is a time for all LCR-II parents to learn together and support one another. Not only is everything free, but each adult attendee will receive a $10 gift card!
Dinner and child entertainment provided.
While parents attend their informational sessions, kids will enjoy a free show from world-renowned magician DJ Edwards!

Winfield Tribe Athletics is excited to share that we will be offering an extended 8th Grade Boys & Girls Basketball Season through the CNR league this winter. We would like to extend this opportunity to surrounding school districts and their athletes who may wish to continue their basketball development beyond their school season.
To clarify MSHSAA eligibility:
Athletes who are currently participating in an active MSHSAA basketball season are permitted to attend and try out with Tribe Basketball; however, they may only begin participating in practices and games once their official school season has concluded with their home district. We fully support MSHSAA guidelines and appreciate cooperation from families and district programs.
Tryout & Sign-Up Night:
Tuesday, December 16th, 2025
5:00–7:00 PM
Winfield Middle School
Athletes must be present to secure their spot.
Our goal is to provide more opportunities for players to continue developing their skills, increasing their court time, and preparing for high school-level competition. We proudly welcome both Winfield athletes and surrounding district athletes who are looking to continue playing during the winter season in a structured, supportive environment.
We kindly ask for your help in sharing this information with your 8th grade athletes, families, coaches, and athletic departments. If you have any questions or need additional details, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your time and support. We look forward to working with athletes across the area who want to continue their basketball journey.
Warm regards,
Winfield Tribe Athletics
Alan Moran- President
