An "Egg-cellent" Way to Learn! 🥚✨
Kindergarteners in Mrs. Hartsell’s class at Peake Elementary spent their Friday hunting for more than just treats—they were hunting for knowledge! During their "Write the Room" Easter Egg Hunt, students tracked down 20 hidden words, practicing their writing and phonics skills with every find. We love seeing our students so engaged in the ultimate learning challenge!

Empowering the future of education! 📚✨
Superintendent Nikki Thomas and AHS Principal Callie Hunley, along with Gurdon Public School Administrators, spent Wednesday morning at Henderson State University, sharing their expertise with the next wave of teacher interns. From mastering the interview to navigating social media and ethics, it was all about preparing these interns for success in the classroom.
We love seeing the passion in these future educators!

The AHS Black History Committee is the true definition of grit. When last-minute conflicts threatened their Black History Month assembly, these student leaders didn't skip a beat. We were honored to see their hard work and poise officially recognized at the March School Board meeting. We are beyond proud of their courage and the example they set for our entire campus.

🐾 Badgers Give Back: A Huge Success!
Thank you, Arkadelphia, for showing up! 💙 After the Valley View Apartment fire impacted families in our community, the Arkadelphia High School FBLA, AHS Beta Club, and Goza Middle School FBLA teamed up with local businesses to help provide aid in the healing process. We appreciate all sponsors and everyone who purchased a BBQ meal. A special thank you to Patterson Federal Credit Union for your incredible partnership; Southwest Auto Collection for the sponsorship and for being hands-on, passing out meals; and a heartfelt thanks to Sheila Bell & Fat Boy's Restaurant.
Because of your generosity, we are on track to present each of the 11 families affected with a check. We are also proud of our students who learned that when tragedy strikes, Badgers respond. Thank you for helping us turn a difficult time into a powerful display of community support.
