Raise your hand if you're ready for another awesome week at the Arkansas Lighthouse Summer Enrichment Academy! There are so many fun things in store for this final week of ALSEA and we can't wait to start all the fun!
Our ALSEA scholars had a great time this week visiting the Clinton Library, the Museum of Discovery, and the State Capital. Special thanks to the Little Rock Police Department and the Little Rock Fraternal Order of the Police for hanging out and grilling lunch!
Capital City Lighthouse Elementary Academy was out in full force today at Crump Park in North Little Rock talking to families about Arkansas Lighthouse Academies and helping them cool off in the Arkansas hear with Popsicles!

We spotted some Jacksonville ALSEA scholars having a great time on their hunt at the Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center. Do you think they solved all of their animal clues?
Week 2 was a huge success at our Arkansas Lighthouse Summer Enrichment Academy and some more of our amazing staff members were "caught" going above and beyond during our second week. Please help us congratulate:
Shyrletta Wilson - Jacksonville
Kari Moore - Flightline
Kimberly Tyson - Capital City
LaCandiace Moses - Pine Bluff
Each of these educators received a $5.00 Starbucks gift card! Keep up the great work and let's see who gets "caught" next week!
Rain, Rain, Glow Away! It might have been dreary outside, but our Jacksonville ALSEA scholars had just the ticket to cheer things up - a glow party in the gym. They had so much fun! We appreciate all of our teachers and staff who came together to brighten our scholars' rainy day.
Our scholars were able to view many wonderful art pieces from The Dirty South exhibit, such as the Dobale to the Spirit by Fahamu Pecou (pictured below). We are always looking for cultural experiences for our scholars and love partnering with organizations such as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to enrich our scholars.
Our Pine Bluff ALSEA Scholars are learning about Public Service this week. They created these cards and delivered care packages to the Fire Department and Paramedics. They really enjoyed the tour they got to take of the fire station.
How bright are our scholars? Well, according to these multimeters, they are super bright! Learning how light affects our crops is a big part of agriculture. The researchers at the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences took some time to show our scholars just how that works with this fun experiment.
Flightline scholars enjoyed a sunny afternoon at the North Little Rock Municipal Airport this week. What a fun learning experience for our ALSEA scholars!
The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art hosts a stunning collection of art and exhibitions as well as 120 acres of beautiful Arkansas nature to explore. Our Scholars had a great time exploring this beautiful area.
It was a day of clear skies and soaring spirits as our Pine Bluff ALSEA scholars visited the North Little Rock Municipal Airport to learn more about aviation.
Scholars got a taste of marketing and sales and how that affects the consumer in a food sciences activity at the University of Arkansas this week. They even got to test those methods with a sweet taste test.
Chip, chip, hurray! It's salsa time! Our scholars rounded out their food adventures with homemade salsa. A special thank to our friends at the University of Arkansas for making learning so delicious.
