Valentine's Day Party Planning!

Our Valentine's Day party will be an Ice Cream Sundae party held on Friday February 14th at 1:00 p.m.

On Tuesday February 11th the kids will be decorating shoe boxes to put their Valentines in!

PLEASE send one empty shoe box and lid to school with your child by February 11th! Also, we will need plenty of Valentine's themed decorative craft materials so if you have anything you could send that would be greatly appreciated. For example: wrapping paper, tissue paper, stickers, ribbon, yarn, buttons, Valentine's cupcake liners, stencils, markers, etc.

This activity was something I enjoyed greatly as a child, have fond memories of, and hope that your children will enjoy it just as much! If you have any questions about anything please email me or call the school at 870-898-3711.

December Happenings

December was a very busy month!

The students worked very hard completing many mid year assessments! I am amazed every day at how much they have grown and continue to every day! They are such hard workers!

Every first grader completed a reindeer job application. These applications then made their way through each office at the court house to be judged! The best 9 applicants were chosen and announced Thursday morning Dec. 19th in the cafeteria! Congratulations to our very own Andrew Sanders for being chosen as "Dancer"!

We also had a great time at our Christmas party! Thank you to everyone that came and made it extra special for us!
