What a way to kick off Red Ribbon Week (next week)!! Thanks for the invite, MMS!!
Last week in Mrs. Todd's class we read all about pumpkins and practiced using adjectives to describe our pumpkins we drew in our writing. We love Fall!
Before heading back to Mena after an exciting trip to the Arkansas Film Camp Premiere, our Mena LIFT students made one more stop for a little Arkansas history!
Students visited the Old State House Museum in Little Rock, where they enjoyed a guided tour and a special educational program exploring Civil War-era Arkansas and the history of Arkansas flags.
It was a wonderful opportunity to step back in time, explore Arkansas's rich history, and learn about the people, events, and symbols that helped shape our state.
A special shoutout to our student travelers:
Haynen Young
Amber Beaver
Navaeh Day
Xaine Morris
Ashleigh Townsend
Annabelle Sprague
From seeing their own films on the big screen to exploring one of Arkansas's historic landmarks, these students have had two days filled with learning, laughter, new experiences, and memories!
Learning doesn't just happen inside four classroom walls! Experiences like these help our students build confidence, independence, curiosity, and connections to the world around them.
From Hollywood dreams to Arkansas history — what a way to wrap up an unforgettable trip!
