Join us today at the new ball field location in softball action as the Lady Lions take on Gainesville. Varsity begins at 4:30, followed by JV. A few notes of interest.....There will be limited bleacher seating, so feel free to bring a lawn chair! Port-A-Potties and a limited concession stand will be available. There is no admission charge.
The address is 3003 County Road 593, Bakersfield, MO 65609. County Road 593 is off O Hwy and is the first dirt road to your right as you travel west past the school campus. Take the first gravel driveway to the left and park on the gravel parking lot. Side walks will take you to the softball field.
We look forward to seeing everyone! Thank you for your patience as we continue to re-build the athletic facility.

The impact of eliminating the state income tax for Bakersfield R-IV is $638,561 each year or 10.3% of all spending. That is a cut of $1,933 per student and is the equivalent of 12 teachers or 20 support staff.
In addition, Senate Bill 3 is on the ballot this April. SB 3 extends the property tax freeze to everyone. The cost for Bakersfield R-IV is approximately $80,066 per year.
Just providing information so you can make an informed choice on April 7.

Our older students (5th and 6th graders) enjoyed sharing their knowledge of robotics with their first-grade peers. They guided them step by step in building a functioning robot. While teaching the younger students important STEM skills, the older students are developing leadership capabilities. First graders practiced collaborating within a group and developed more independent problem-solving skills. Who knew learning could be so much fun!

Out of an abundance of caution, and considering the trauma the last spring storms had on our kids and community, we are bringing everyone in the FEMA building until the thunderstorm passes.
