Arkansas Lighthouse School Community, We’ve made it to our first break of the 23-24 school year. Please take time to enjoy your family and friends this holiday. Remember, in an effort to give scholars a break and allow teachers to break and receive professional development and training, schools will be closed Tuesday-Friday of next week, with scholars retuning Monday, September 11th. We would like to suggest using the time away to schedule scholar appointments (doctor, dentist, etc) to decrease the amount of time scholars are away from school during our normal schedule. Finally, please don’t forget to assist us and use this time to P.L.A.Y. (Prioritize Literacy and Achievement Year-round). This is a great time to connect with your scholar and read or have them read to you each day and/or night. Again, we wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday and break and look forward to seeing you Monday, September 11th by 9am. Your Arkansas Lighthouse Family!

Today is National Egg Day! Scholars at our Flightline campus led the "Chicken or the Egg" project this past school year. All eight chickens received names during this process, and the scholars bonded with them on many different levels. Science Teacher Mrs. Herrin said, "It was quite evident there was a healthy impact socially and emotionally." Scholars showed compassion and critical thinking that occurred as they learned how to be responsible for their flock. It was a natural progression through exploration and experience that the middle school-aged scholars became curious, knowledgeable, and problem solvers. A small group of scholars calculated one 40 lb bag of feed lasts approximately 18 days and costs approximately $27. They learned how to budget and create small business plans through the project. #NationalEggDay #Agriculture #ArkansasLighthouse
