Badger Pride Award! One of our amazing bus drivers!
Huge shout-out to Arkadelphia’s own Mr. Mike Forthman for his incredible dedication to our students! Nominated by FBLA Adviser Ashley Wesley, Mr. Forthman is being recognized for going above and beyond on every trip.
From handling all the luggage at the State Leadership Conference to helping pass out items during field trips. His kindness and "can-do" spirit make him a vital part of our Badger family!
Thank you, Mr. Forthman, for always going the extra mile!
