New Haven, Mo. - After four hot weeks of summer school the New Haven/Berger Fire Department had to stop by on Thursday to cool off students at R-II School.
Since Thursday was their final day of summer school, students saw the opportunity and seized the moment to attack one of their teachers, Mrs. Tiffany Strubberg, bombing her with water balloons and squirt toys.
New Haven, Mo. - Franklin County R-2 School is unique in many ways compared to the majority of other K-8 schools. The difference that sets R-2 apart from others is graduating 8th graders have several options of where they plan to attend high school and even though the majority will begin the next chapter in their lives at New Haven, others may not.
Similar to graduating from high school, classmates at R-2 said their goodbyes Monday night to those who will be taking a different path in pursing their education at different high schools.

Each year at Franklin County R-II, Mrs. Kay Hesemann encourages her second grade students to read by having them join her 100 Book Club.
At the end of the year, the students who have met their goal of reading 100 books are awarded with a t-shirt made especially for them by Mrs. Hesemann.
