Congratulations to LRSD's Newest "Retirement Club"!
Congrats to LRSD's newest "Retirement Club" members: Patricia Boykin, Beverly Jones, and Katherine Snyder. Lupe Pena and Suzanne Proctor, who have accepted principal's positions near their hometowns, were also applauded.
LR Mayor Frank Scott, Jr., a product of LRSD, joined Supt. Mike Poore and Deputy Supt. Sadie Mitchell in celebrating their leadership and service to the District.
Additionally, principals and assistant principals who have completed their first-year assignments were also honored.
Dr. Sadie Mitchell, who will also be retiring after nearly 40 years with LRSD, will be recognized during a separate celebration. The mayor indicated he would be proclaiming a "Dr, Sadie Mitchell" Day. We will keep you posted.
Thank you all for your dedication to the children and families of our District.

English Language Learners getting lots of support through LRSD summer program, "Camp Can Do." The program is actually underway now at two sites – Terry and Watson Elementary schools.

LRSD Educators in the Community Spotlight!
The Arkansas Declaration of Learning program is very competitive. Educators selected for the 2018-19 program began with a week-long intensive training led by state and national partners during June 2018. During the training, participants learned to use historic art and objects in their classroom and school libraries to bring the subjects they teach to life. During the school year, they developed dynamic unit and lesson plans – and launched a civic engagement project – that helped engage students in active learning and illustrated the importance of civic engagement.
Whitney Mosley, McDermott Elementary School Speech/Language Pathologist (red jacket), recently named the "2019 Taste of Finest" Honoree for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. She will be honored during a special dinner, August 16th at the Statehouse Convention Center. Way to go, Ms. Mosley!
