Last Saturday, the Arkadelphia High School JROTC held its annual Military Ball. It was a memorable evening celebrating tradition, leadership, and community. One of the highlights of the event was a keynote address delivered by School Resource Officer Cpl. Randy Lau. He shared a powerful message centered on leadership, character, and service.

At the event, JROTC Senior McKenzie Yeagle was awarded a $500 scholarship from Mark Batson on behalf of the Batson Family. Colleen Herron and Zaylee Dinger were awarded $50 gift cards for being the top sellers during the two fundraising events.

You can read more about the event, including Cpl. Lau's message on our website at https://www.arkadelphiaschools.org/article/2758980

AHS Art Students in Mrs. Candace Eriksson’s Class recently visited the OBU art department to see a pottery wheel demonstration by an OBU Art Student. Also, OBU Professor Carey Roberson taught AHS students how to make cyanotype prints. They used a treated light-sensitive paper to make arrangements with objects and leaves, then used UV light from the sun to expose the paper, which transformed the paper into small works of art. Thank you to the OBU Art Department for this opportunity for our students!

Another successful Chili Supper and Art Show last week at Peake Elementary! What makes them so special? The Roy and Sammy inspired student art, having KARK live, good chili and cinnamon rolls, student choirs, and amazing PTA volunteers working alongside the Peake staff to go above and beyond in welcoming our community and raising funds to support their school, just to name a few of the things. Special thanks to the Beene family for purchasing the always unique art piece during the live auction and to everyone who came!

The Arkadelphia Promise has recognized the January Teacher of the Month, Mr. Richard Resnick.

Mr. Resnick is a 7th-grade math teacher at Goza Middle School. Mr. Resnick is a second-year teacher at Goza. He is married to his wife, Micah, who is also an educator.

Mr. Resnick was presented with a cash award in appreciation of his impact. A Promise Teacher leads with purpose, teaches with heart, and believes in students even before they believe in themselves. The Goza Administration expressed that Mr. Resnick's initiative is leading the 7th-grade team’s RTI work. His dedication to expanding opportunities for students goes beyond the classroom, reflecting the very promise of education.

Thank you for being a difference-maker, Mr. Resnick!

Give Us This Day

Three outgoing Arkadelphia School Board members were recognized with a Badger Pride Award in honor of their service to the Board of Education. Board President Blake Bell (Zone 5, 7 years of service), Secretary Gina White (Zone 7, 11 years of service), and Lori Smith (Zone 4, 3 years of service) are not seeking reelection. February was their last regularly scheduled school board meeting as a member.
