Thank you to South Central Electric for always participating in Perritt Primary's pumpkin pole day and Miss Arkansas Teen, Allie Bell for talking to our students about how important it is to make good choices and be courageous as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week.
Hostess came today to Perritt and made delicious donations to the school food backpack program. Thank you Hostess for this generous donation. We are so blessed to have such great community support!
In the October school board meeting, Perritt student Messiah McDonald was presented with a Badger Pride Award. Diann Lawhon, teacher, and Debbie Stephens, principal, wrote the following about Messiah:
Messiah displays daily what it looks like to persevere due to the obstacles he has dealt with in his short life. He gets out of the car each morning with a smile on his face and comes to school ready to conquer the world. He works hard and never gives up on the tasks that are placed before him. He never meets a stranger and is friends with all that come in contact with him. Everyone knows his name and the entire staff and student body gravitate towards him. He helps to keep us all accountable with our daily attitudes and outlook because he is always so full of joy and his smile is infectious. Messiah is the epitome of what Badger Pride should look like each day.
Congratulations Messiah! We are so proud of you!

Chartwells recently held a Discovery Kitchen demo sampling at Peake Elementary. Students got to try red and gold beets paired with crunchy Granny Smith and Gala apples topped with a vibrant citrus dressing. November is a "let's get cooking" menu that explores some old favorite classic recipes and some new twists on dishes.
It's Red Ribbon Week! Please check out all the events happening this week in the Arkadelphia Public School District.
Have a great one!
Rev. Johnnie Harris presented a check for $300 to Peake Principal Mary Snowden on behalf of the Pi Nu Lambda Graduate Chapter of Alpha Phi Fraternity. The money is designated for the school backpack program that sends food home with students for the weekend that are in need of food support. He was accompanied by his wife Jaki Harris. They are both retired educators. We appreciate this generous donation!
Happy Friday!
