What an experience Mrs. Elsa Scott's classes have had during National Hispanic Heritage Month! Pictured, is their rendition of Hispanic Heritage Month -a collage of the different activities and scenarios from Spanish-speaking countries.

Yesterday, Melanie Brown's classes were part of an amazing activity on Developmental Relationships. Kennidi Ridgell, our School Based Site Coordinator from Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care, facilitated this activity to help identify healthy and unhealthy relationships. Students also learned how to set boundaries, have difficult conversations, and understand why these things are important. They learned how to be self-aware and practice good self-care. Thanks Ms. Brown and Ms. Ridgell.
