Everyone is invited to a Retirement Reception on Thursday, May 25th, in honor of seven dedicated APSD Employees. The reception will be held at Goza Middle School from 3:30p.m. - 4:30p.m. We look forward to seeing you.
Goza Middle School Teacher Brandi Cotton was recognized in the May Arkadelphia School Board meeting for being named Arkansan of the Day by Craig O’Neal of THV11. At the recent Soldiers of Service Walk-a-Thon, Mrs. Cotton received the Clark County Challenge for Life award. She organized student and faculty volleyball and basketball games that raised over $1,600 for the American Cancer Society. She raised an additional $600 selling raffle tickets and sponsoring a student Walk-a-thon.
Mrs. Cotton’s dedication to this cause has been inspired by the memory of her mother, Jeanette Wright.
Congratulations Mrs. Cotton on being named Arkansan of the Day and thank you for leading with a heart of service.
