Women's History Month
This month at LRSD we are celebrating Women's History Month by spotlighting prominent women in the STEM field. This week, Ruth Olive Beall was our spotlighted figure. She was the superintendent of Arkansas Children's Hospital and Home from 1934-1961. Beall is credited for saving the hospital from financial despair during the Great Depression. She is also responsible for its expansion and improvement during the years following the Depression. We thank Ruth Olive Beall for her dedication to our very own Arkansas Children's Hospital. Check out our Instagram or Facebook to see the other women we've spotlighted so far!

Love Rocks @ Central!
Central High Students found a meaningful way to reach the community during this difficult global pandemic through a project entitled, LOVE ROCKS AT CENTRAL HIGH. The Central High Library and the Art and Communications Departments were excited to partner with Rikki Sandress and The National Society of Leadership and Success to create greeting cards for senior adults. Central High Students created homemade greeting cards to honor senior adults who have been isolated from their loved ones during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The cards were very much appreciated by all the senior adults who received one.
