Happy Memorial Day Weekend
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! We're so proud of the Horace Mann Magnet Middle School Students who continue the annual tradition of honoring those who served our country by placing flags in the National Cemetery. A shoutout to Ms. Kelly Smith, Mann's sponsor for this civic project. She says she is impressed with her students, who were reverent and respectful of the lives they were honoring as they placed each flag.

All 40 LRSD Schools Have Been Designated Heart Safe Thanks to the Project Adam
Would school staff know what to do if a student or staff member experienced cardiac arrest? Because timely response can mean the difference between life and death, Little Rock School District partnered with Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services (MEMS), and the Little Rock Fire Department (LRFD) to pilot the Project ADAM Heart Safe School Program.
Through this project, all our schools successfully implemented a quality sudden cardiac arrest program of awareness, training, and effective emergency response to promote a safe environment for students, visitors, and staff, per the Heart Safe School Checklist. Following practice drills at each site, all LRSD school campuses are certified as Heart Safe Schools! Congratulations!
