Good afternoon, Arkansas Lighthouse Family,
We hope this message finds you and your family safe and well. Our thoughts are with our ARLCS families that have been impacted by the storms. We know that for some, the last couple of days have been devastating. We also understand that things will not be normal for a while. Because of this, we want you to know that we offer support in hopes to relieve any stress.
If you are experiencing difficulty as a result of this Friday’s weather, please communicate your needs with your scholars’ Principal(s). We will do everything in our power to assist you in any way possible.
Here are some community resources that we hope will help you.
Please let us know if we can do anything to connect you with any of these partners.
Supplies available for residents impacted by March 31 storm
