A Tip from the CDC…

Help us spread the word to encourage Little Rock families to participate in the 2020 Census. Completing the census is quick and easy, and helps determine how many federal dollars flow to cities and states – directly impacting education.

In the Community…

Do you know a teacher who makes learning fun and inspires students? Well, we want to hear about him or her!


Nominations are now open for the Little Rock Family Amazing Educator Awards, presented by Delta Dental, in which we honor four central Arkansas teachers who have made a difference in the lives of their students.


Whether it’s your child's favorite teacher, your wonderful coworker or a great friend who deserves recognition, we want your nomination! You just have to tell us what makes that teacher an “Amazing Educator” by filling out the entry form here.


In our eighth annual Amazing Educators program, we'll recognize one winning teacher in four categories: Elementary School, Middle/Junior High School, High School and Special Needs.


Winners will be featured in the January 2021 issue of Little Rock Family. Along with the feature, they'll each receive an incredible prize package (including a cash prize!), made possible in part by our sponsor Delta Dental.


Private and public school teachers in Benton, Bryant, Jacksonville, Little Rock, Maumelle, North Little Rock and Sherwood are eligible. The deadline to submit your nomination is Sept. 4, 2020.
