Congratulations to the 25 educators in our district who will receive merit incentive funds this year from the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education!
According to DESE’s website, the LEARNS Act (Act 237 of the 2023 Regular Session) established the Merit Teacher Incentive Fund Program, also known as Merit Pay, to recognize and reward Arkansas's outstanding educators. The program's primary goals are to retain high-performing teachers in classrooms across the state and enhance teacher recruitment and retention in priority (e.g., mentors) and critical shortage areas.
Each of the educators who has received merit pay qualified in at least one of the following areas:
• Demonstrate outstanding growth in student performance;
• Are employed in subject, geographic, and other critical shortage areas
• Serve as a mentor to aspiring teachers participating in yearlong residencies.
This is a major accomplishment, and we're so proud of our educators for committing to excellence in education -- every student, every time.
CELEBRATION!
The Junior Bomber Trap Team competed at the State Tournament in Jacksonville this past Friday. There were 64 teams from around the State. The Junior Bombers first round was against Shiloah Christian, who they outshot 104 to 82. They then defeated Corning 101 to 99 in the second round of play, but fell short in the third round to Nashville 113 to 109. The junior Bombers finished their season as one of the top 16 squads in the State. Great season, Way to go Bombers! Squad members include (left to right): Austin Still, Case Cooley, Case Hardin, Benson Hopper, and Issac Hardin.
Our high school exceptional athletes competed at state on Friday. They had a great time and performed well. We are blessed with wonderful staff and peers who went along to support our athletes.
We did it! This was a year full of learning, growing, trials, and successes. We love our Bombers, and while we're excited for summer, we'll be ready for smiling faces on August 12! Have a wonderful, safe break!
We sure are going to miss our retirees! What a wonderful group of educators and support staff!
Nurse Paige Ledford is leaving behind a legacy that goes far beyond bandages and ice packs at Nelson-Wilks-Herron Elementary. Nurse Paige’s church family, the congregation of Redeemer Lutheran Church, has generously donated funds to support the needs of Nelson-Wilks- Herron students. This donation will enable NWH to maintain its well-stocked clothes closet, provide hygiene products for students and families, and offer various other essential items to those in need. Thanks to the generosity of Redeemer Lutheran Church, NWH will be able to provide for our students and families when the needs arise.
In Mrs. Kohler and Mrs. Thompson’s third grade classrooms, they celebrated watermelon day!! They tasted fresh watermelon and other watermelon-flavored treats while taking a poll of what was everyone’s favorite. They analyzed their data, identified the favorite, and read about the life cycle! They even counted and saw how many rubber bands it took to explode a watermelon! It was a “sweet” and fun day!
7th grade students from Pinkston attended the Naturals vs. Travelers baseball game yesterday at Arvest Ball Park. This game was the culminating activity for students that completed the Reading Baseball challenge this school year. About 80 students achieved their goal and attended the game yesterday.
After reading the book "Unplugged" as a whole school project, the students at Hackler participated in a Zoom meeting with the author, Gordon Korman, this morning. Students were allowed to ask questions and really enjoyed connecting with a real author!
Join us for the Flame of Hope!
It's happening! Congratulations! 🎊
