On Wednesday, February 14, our schools will not be accepting Valentine's deliveries. Balloons and glass flower vases are not allowed on school buses so we ask that everyone please refrain from sending any Valentine deliveries to school.
The following Valentine's events and fundraisers are happening to allow students an opportunity to participate in Valentine's giving on campus:
Perritt Primary School is having class parties on February 14th. Parties begin at 8:30 a.m. for kindergarten; 1:00 p.m. for second grade; and 1:30 p.m. for first grade.
Peake GT Teacher Brandi Cotton is selling Candygrams that will be delivered on Valentine’s Day for $1. Students can place an order on Monday; the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.
Goza Middle School Student Council is selling Crush Grams and Fanta-TASTIC Friend Grams from February 7-13 at $2 for one, or $5 for 3. They will be delivered during homeroom on Valentine’s Day.
Arkadelphia High School FCA is selling Candygrams that will be delivered on Valentine’s Day.
Thank you!
The main water line that services Goza Middle School and Arkadelphia High School has been broken. Estimated time for repair is 2-3 hours. Lunches have already been prepared and nearing the end of serving. If parents want to pick up students or call to give permission for their student driver to check out, it will be considered excused. Buses will not run until regular dismissal times. We will have bottled water available for students who stay on campus. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through this unfortunate and unexpected event. Perritt Primary and Peake Elementary are not impacted and will continue their regular school day.
Congratulations to all the Perritt first and second-grade classroom spelling bee winners who participated in today’s grade-level spelling bees. First Grade winners are Kaillah McGhee, 1st Place; Aiden Cruz, 2nd Place; and Pierce Jarvis, 3rd Place.
