Just a reminder that the after school buses are now only dropping off at certain places. Please call if you have any questions.
Mrs. Teri and Mrs. Susan showed off their school spirit today. Is it just me, or do they look like twins?

On Wednesday, October 30, the junior and senior classes, along with a couple of GT students, toured the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. They ate in the cafeteria, learned some history about the university, and learned about the application, admissions, housing, and financial aid opportunities. Two seniors decided to apply to UA Fayetteville after this tour. Thank you to those who made this trip possible for our students.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Grades 7-10 will be taking their first ATLAS Interim assessments tomorrow, Wednesday, October 30th. These will include math, literacy, and science. These interim assessments are designed to gauge our students' progress toward this year's grade level standards. It provides the students with exposure to both content and structure of the assessment they will take in the Spring . It is very important that students get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast, and get to school on time. Grades 3-6 will not take their interims until next week.
Congratulations to Kandi Campbell for placing first and to Clara Bradley for placing second in our College Banner Contest for the American College Application Campaign Kick-Off. Students had to pick a college of their choice and research whether it offered the degree they desired and the scholarship opportunities offered at that institution.










Mrs. Enns has a few "grumpy old men" in her class today:)

Red Ribbon Week is here-October 28-November 1. This is the week we celebrate being drug free! Students also learn about the harmful effects of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. In addition, we always have fun with the dress up days to help kids remember important slogans.
