Christmas meets Agriculture
Our agriculture Educator, Ms. Mahan shared her thoughts on a recent beyond the walls leading experience.
“Scholars had the opportunity to learn about the importance of Christmas Tree Farming. We traveled to Shillings Family Christmas Tree Farm in Lonoke, AR. Scholars harvested their favorite tree to showcase at the Literacy Night this past week! Did you know that real Christmas Trees help the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen? They also are a renewable resource and recyclable.” There are more facts on the National Christmas Tree Association website if you want to add any more or change anything.

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!
PLAY TEES ARE COMING!
Excited to see our scholars collaborate with one of our Kindergarten Teacher Heroes, Ms. A Brown, as they learn flag etiquette. Thank you for your dedication and service to our scholars and our country!!! #PublicService #Engagement #ARLCS
