Arkadelphia High Schooler, Joslyn Cain was recognized by the AHS RtI Team with this month’s Badger Pride Award! Joslyn exemplifies the CKH (Capturing Kids' Hearts) character trait of courage. She is resilient, never letting adversity define her spirit. In the classroom, Joslyn is just as fearless. She meets academic challenges with focus and persistence, showing her peers and teachers alike what it truly means to persevere. Her work ethic, positive attitude, and unwavering commitment to growth have not gone unnoticed. Way to go, Joslyn!
We’re so proud of you! #BadgerPride

Monday through Wednesday of this week, AHS student Dani Thomason had the opportunity to shadow nurses in the Emergency Department, NICU, and the Infant and Toddler Unit at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. She spent a full 12-hour shift with a different nurse each day, gaining first-hand insight into the unique pace and demands of each unit. This immersive experience helped her explore the various specialties in pediatric nursing and narrow down her future career path. During her time there, Dani also learned about programs offered through the hospital, including the Student Nurse Intern program and additional job shadowing opportunities for nursing students. Following her experience, Dani shared, "It was a great opportunity, and I was able to learn a lot from this experience. I enjoyed my time at the Children's Hospital and getting to interact with the nurses and patients there. It made me confident and certain in my career choice of nursing."
Mrs. Cloninger has been working with students to provide them with real-world experiences.

-Route 14 (Manchester/Dalark) cannot run at all.
-Route 1 (Joan) will pick up normal times, but may arrive a few minutes late for school because they will have to come into town through Donaldson.

It was a “Tragedy of the Common” lesson for AP Environmental Science students in Mrs. Tiffany Edwards’ class. Students conducted a lab on the issues relating to public resources. This activity gave them an ocean to fish in, and they had to have it sustain the entire group for four years. If they overfished their resource, they would not be able to provide for their family. This lesson brought attention to hunting and fishing regulations, free grazing, air pollution, and fossil fuel consumption. #BadgerPride
