Badger Care Student Services is now available through the Arkadelphia Public School Nursing Staff and is designed to help meet the personal hygiene needs of all students. The main focus of offering Badger Care Student Services is to ensure that all students have access to laundry facilities.
We would like to thank the Rotary Club for their donation of a washer, dryer, detergent, and hygiene products to Badger Care for our students. The Rotary Club also donated $600 to start a Badger Care Student Services account at Patterson Federal Credit Union where individuals and organizations can donate.
If you would like more information on the program, please contact Nurse Beth Hasley at Goza Middle School or Arkadelphia High School.
