Congratulations to our National Elementary Honor Society Student Board! 🎉 These outstanding students were voted by their peers to lead our organization. Ezra will serve as President, Ayden as Vice President, and Britney as Secretary. We are proud of your leadership and excited to see the positive impact you’ll make this year! #SpringdaleFamily

We extend a big, heartfelt THANK YOU to Harps Foods for their continued partnership with Springdale Public Schools. Each year, Harps generously provides our schools with gift cards that help create meaningful learning opportunities for our students. Thanks to their support, several of our 5th graders went above and beyond by completing a math extension for Fractions Trail Mix recipes and providing trail mix for all of our 5th-grade students to enjoy. It was a huge hit and absolutely delicious! #SpringdaleFamily

Reminder! 🎉 Today is Spirit Day at Nothing Bundt Cakes, and they’re open until 6:30 PM. We are so grateful for these wonderful elves who delivered cakes for our teacher order this morning. Thank you for making our day extra sweet! 🍰✨

☀️ 5th Grade Science Spotlight! ☀️ Our 5th graders have been exploring the apparent brightness of the Sun through a Mystery Science rover investigation! 🚀 Students discovered that the Sun doesn’t change, its distance does. As the rover moved closer to or farther from the Sun, they observed how light appears brighter or dimmer based on distance. This hands-on investigation helped students build a deeper understanding of how light and energy travel through space. Curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific discovery were shining bright today! 🌟🔭 #SpringdaleFamily

Congratulations to our ornament contest winners! 🎄 These Wildcats each crafted a creative ornament for our tree. Thank you for brightening our halls with your joyful spirit! #SpringdaleFamily

We are so thankful for our FoodCorps educator, Ms. Carpenter! She teaches our students about nutritious foods and brings unique, hands-on learning opportunities to our school. Ms. Carpenter also cares for our Walker garden, where our Wildcats love exploring and tasting fresh produce. Our students were especially excited to try carrots pulled straight from the garden! 🥕🌱 #SpringdaleFamily

Our students are beyond excited to have TubeLox sets available for hands-on engineering challenges during STEAM time and indoor recess! These building opportunities spark creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in such a fun way.

Our 5th graders were thrilled to learn from Dr. Katherine Auld of NWA Space!

It was a memorable and meaningful way to wrap up our Earth & Space Sciences unit! Thank you Dr. Kate! #SpringdaleFamily
