ViPS 2023 An Evening for the Stars Celebration
Earlier this week, we celebrated 50 years of Volunteers in Public Schools at LRSD. While we recognize and celebrate our wonderful volunteers year-round, it was nice to have all the individuals and entities who pour into our district under one roof to honor them for their dedication. Another huge congratulations to Nell Matthews, the 2023 Jane Mendel Award recipient. Check out more photos from the ceremony on our Facebook page.

Impressive Showing for LRCH Choirs at Arkansas State Choral Festival
The Little Rock Central High Concert Mixed, Concert Treble and Madrigals competed in the 7A category at Arkansas State Choral Festival last Friday at UCA. All three groups received Superior ratings and received plaques.
Because they also earned Superior ratings in performance and sight-reading at Region 2 Choral Performance Assessment, all the groups received Sweepstakes. The Concert Treble and Madrigals were named the “Best in Class” in their categories. The LRCH Concert Treble and LRCH Madrigals are state champs! Go Tigers!
