❤️ Could your school save a life in a heartbeat?

In our latest episode, we’re diving into the vital intersection of school safety and cardiac health. We sit down with Charles Wooley (Project ADAM), Lynn Ryan (Principal, Walker Elementary), and fifth-grader Ezra Wilson to discuss the journey of becoming a Heart Safe School.
From the logistics of AED training to the inspiring way students like Ezra are being empowered to act, learn how preparation turns potential tragedy into a life-saving success story. 🛡️💪

Kindergartners had fun learning about the sun and its warmth this week! In class, they tested UV beads on bracelets to see how sunlight affects them. During STEAM enrichment, students put their engineering skills to work by building shade structures to keep “Harry” safe from the sun. ☀️🛠️

2nd graders have been learning about Pioneers in Flight in their ELA Benchmark unit. This week we welcomed the Arkansas Air & Military Museum for hands-on aviation activities! Students read about pilots, built straw rockets, tested toy gliders outside, and explored balance and gravity in Wonder Lab aviation challenges. Each student also received a foam rocket from the Civil Air Patrol. Thank you to the Arkansas Air & Military Museum and the Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education Program for this great learning opportunity! ✈️🚀 #SpringdaleFamily
