Our school cafeterias operate in partnership with Southwest Foodservice Excellence, LLC. Today, we take the opportunity to recognize the effort school nutrition professionals, "school lunch heroes," make for every child who comes through the cafeteria each day. We are grateful for your hard work and dedication to Arkadelphia Public Schools.

A few weeks ago, during the final Voices of Leadership session, FBLA welcomed Caroline Derby of KARK 4 News. During that visit, senior Kalyn Garrett made a meaningful connection.
Last Thursday, that connection came full circle as Kalyn was invited to shadow Caroline and get a behind-the-scenes look at broadcast journalism in action. With plans to attend the University of Arkansas and major in communications, this was a powerful opportunity to get a close-up glimpse into her future career. She also got to make an appearance on Caroline’s RECAP podcast for KARK Ch. 4 at https://youtu.be/uVP0A5YBM5o?si=qMivRItJyhBjvgtv
Experiences like this highlight the importance of connecting classroom learning to real-world opportunities.
