The event is a powerful morning of conversation and reflection as Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost, the first Black students at McDonough 19 Elementary School in New Orleans, come together live and on-stage to discuss their memories of the events in 1960, and how these events have impacted their own lives and the history of our nation.

Gibbs International Magnet School is the newest participant in the school-bank program. Marking the seventh year of the successful effort, the program will allow Gibbs students the opportunity to open savings accounts, which will be supported through First Security Bank. Students will also serve as bank tellers, having undergone training to proficiently handle basic financial transactions and showcase customer service skills. The goal of the bank program is to help teach students financial literacy while equipping them with life-long money management skills. The students are also getting exposure to career options in the banking profession. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the 4th bank partnership between LRSD and First Security!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: 400;"><b style="color: #050505; font-family: times; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Elementary School Students Celebrate Their </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: 400;"><b style="color: #050505; font-family: times; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">100th Day of School</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-weight: 400;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpWeZpbPY3NsyADO0btJLvoOOtvF48LtUddCg6ou2Ftz50ZGgrnn9HcZQCJpK90RaMge0JZHUNoSM7mr1ghoBnSc9MCqy_HJl7J-GlAzksQVwZ8DlV7U0T8sWH2KzUcbTOJ9bRlY0GC-Rh42C3zJneErPb3paWjhZOk6USgAaqMqAZQAxkdCkQqtTbCRX/s729/100%20days.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="729" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpWeZpbPY3NsyADO0btJLvoOOtvF48LtUddCg6ou2Ftz50ZGgrnn9HcZQCJpK90RaMge0JZHUNoSM7mr1ghoBnSc9MCqy_HJl7J-GlAzksQVwZ8DlV7U0T8sWH2KzUcbTOJ9bRlY0GC-Rh42C3zJneErPb3paWjhZOk6USgAaqMqAZQAxkdCkQqtTbCRX/w425-h421/100%20days.PNG" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-weight: 400;"><br /></div>Students across the Little Rock School District celebrated their 100th day of school this week.

Advance Academics Program Director Romona Cheneval explained that Robotics requires much more than just learning how to put a robot together and program it. "Team skills are vital in troubleshooting, planning, and presenting! Each VEX IQ tournament engages students in individual and team skills, including programming, driving, journaling, and participating in team interviews," she said. Teams had to manage their time efficiently and communicate clearly with each other to compete.

In October, they joined over 36,000 students nationwide to provide one million books to underserved youth. They donated and read books to students at Baseline Elementary. </span><span style="border: 0px; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">However, their commitment to community service didn't stop there. Recognizing the urgent issues of child poverty and maternal and mental health challenges, Cloverdale students embarked on their second impactful project, aptly named "Do Good December." This project focused on supporting middle and high school children at the Florence Crittenton Home (FCH) in Little Rock. During a field trip to the home, they delivered collected items and gifts to the residents. They gathered an impressive 682 personal care items, $150, and gift cards for donation. Thank you to Cloverdale Chick-fil-A Leader students and sponsors for impacting our community positively! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="border: 0px; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>Happy Retirement!</b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>LRSD Thanks Craig O'Neill for his Dedication to our Students' Futures</b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: times;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_NC4LCLVuwpVKUFFIvmPiZrLKLWaVzX7tj33DkzA8fmzWyfKWwfpNxFGSgy_w2Ut0pfmS2G-Xr4Wa-tVHNIhVYGLBUQ9A74KrXFT3nYh-lNR30TTblzkJNvqb76eH222c4r8vJTYzjV7YnkN5HIztg82pbH8BfnwE3R0F-XNTfLUffcBVSwNdvYO3YWR/s2000/Black%20Collage%20Back%20to%20School%20Photo%20Collage.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_NC4LCLVuwpVKUFFIvmPiZrLKLWaVzX7tj33DkzA8fmzWyfKWwfpNxFGSgy_w2Ut0pfmS2G-Xr4Wa-tVHNIhVYGLBUQ9A74KrXFT3nYh-lNR30TTblzkJNvqb76eH222c4r8vJTYzjV7YnkN5HIztg82pbH8BfnwE3R0F-XNTfLUffcBVSwNdvYO3YWR/w465-h372/Black%20Collage%20Back%20to%20School%20Photo%20Collage.png" width="465" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We want to wish Craig O'Neill a very happy retirement!

It's a three-day festival dedicated to those who love the outdoors, especially deer hunting. Merchandise vendors will sell outdoor and hunting products, outfitters, boats, tree stands, hunting blinds, ATVs, and more. There will also be attractions, including rattlesnake wranglers, chainsaw carving, knife forgers, and kids activities.

The challenge consists of a full day of service projects that will challenge them mentally and socially. Something to note is that some service sites may require physical or outdoor labor, and participants will likely get dirty. Participants are advised to wear casual and comfortable clothes.

It's a three-day festival dedicated to those who love the outdoors, especially deer hunting. There will be merchandise vendors selling outdoor and hunting products, outfitters, boats, tree stands, hunting blinds, ATVs and more. There will also be attractions, including rattlesnake wranglers, chainsaw carving, knife forgers, and kids activities. However, the highlight of the festival will be the exhibition of deer antlers from around Arkansas. You can also enter in for over $100,000 in prizes. The Big Buck Classic will be held at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds from January 26-28. Adult tickets are $15 a piece, kids aged 5-12 are $5, and kids under 5 are free. Parking is included in your ticket price.<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Known for his exceptional skills on the court and unwavering dedication to the game, he is poised to make a substantial impact at the collegiate level. The announcement generated tremendous excitement not only within the Parkview community but also among college basketball enthusiasts nationwide. During the singing, Thomas was surrounded by family, friends, coaches, and his teammates. We want to send a HUGE congratulations to him and wish him well when he takes on the role of being a Tiger following his senior year as a Patriot.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none" style="font-weight: 700;">LRSD Congratulates the Students Honored at This Year’s</span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap" style="font-weight: 700;"> </span><a class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none" draggable="false" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/lrsdscholars2023?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZVj1giONoH6eLPQJo2Y7kQIsmhjWcsEZvqoC-wTZijqtRgJRB0gVljv8qxkSMUgjwrssiIae0-99coB9LsSJbIYAfLn9RS01Ie052nFDwKV65AxfOG_njAUU_Hct3RelXPFxzzJjqe1jY-C7oL7zWPZl4Irv6M97sXPohGawuWq-fRWFL4iY4EkohkAfaPITcg&__tn__=*NK-R" rel="noopener" style="color: black; font-weight: 700;" target="_blank">#Scholars2023</a><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none" style="font-weight: 700;"> Celebration</span> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoLv_xPLc2s9gJFdiHUmyAZPcLKFDKpAw07UwAzeyB8pGGlOJyZnGxALlMVaCkCbiUZ4lnsaOnK7HeS8uGogkxDOx0nJPs88fyzx1fdZxCvuknX71zuZsO_-Nh8XIlm5xg1C4ncMZXmRNHqW57apFWHyZK6disIwvGsyoXFw0jCZgPHhQe02hexL-p6NKT/s597/LRSD%20STUDENTS.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="597" height="453" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoLv_xPLc2s9gJFdiHUmyAZPcLKFDKpAw07UwAzeyB8pGGlOJyZnGxALlMVaCkCbiUZ4lnsaOnK7HeS8uGogkxDOx0nJPs88fyzx1fdZxCvuknX71zuZsO_-Nh8XIlm5xg1C4ncMZXmRNHqW57apFWHyZK6disIwvGsyoXFw0jCZgPHhQe02hexL-p6NKT/w453-h453/LRSD%20STUDENTS.PNG" width="453" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;">Little Rock School District students, families, and staff gathered this week for the 2023 Scholars Celebration.

The school has earned a place on the College Board's AP School Honor Roll for the 2022-23 school year! The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools that have done outstanding work to welcome more students
into AP courses and support them on the path to college success.
Research shows students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on
time. The students who enter four-year colleges with credit from AP accelerate their path to graduation and
build confidence for college success. And, even for those who don’t earn college credit, AP coursework
provides early exposure to college-level work and contributes to a college-going school culture. <br /><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b>Make Plans to Attend 19th Annual <br />LRSD College Night</b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlBSY8ocSZxiDXWPcCiqp-SO_ZAByrSkVL7OSwywioPcne3VhAjJp_2HBVVY446bOXeV5wARHNPacme9SNpHjN4P8i4uic3fFmNsOl713KVywyyhSBg2AAUGf2FiBFQk42yDbt8Fff1tufTuqrtxNqU6ApG9-LLXBw08GCatTT6-efJcclX647fcdbzp8b" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="411" data-original-width="832" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlBSY8ocSZxiDXWPcCiqp-SO_ZAByrSkVL7OSwywioPcne3VhAjJp_2HBVVY446bOXeV5wARHNPacme9SNpHjN4P8i4uic3fFmNsOl713KVywyyhSBg2AAUGf2FiBFQk42yDbt8Fff1tufTuqrtxNqU6ApG9-LLXBw08GCatTT6-efJcclX647fcdbzp8b=w640-h316" width="640" /></a></div>Students in and out of the District are invited to LRSD's annual college night, hosted at the Jack Stephens Event Center at UA-Little Rock on October 10th, 6 p.m. This event is ideal for students who are planning for their futures.

One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, Crenchaw was the first African American from Arkansas trained by the federal government as<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> a civilian licensed pilot.

be partnering with Cloverdale Middle School to provide curriculum opportunities
that teach students important leadership skills to help make a difference in
their community.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span class="contentpasted0"><span style="font-family: times;">Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy is traditionally a program for high
school students. This year, Cloverdale’s Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy
Facilitator, Jocelyn Spriggs-Gordon advocated that student leaders should be
groomed before high school and petitioned for her students to be allowed to
participate in the program. As a result, 20 students were selected by
Cloverdale Middle School to participate in Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, a
national high school leadership program empowering students to make an Impact
Through Action. Cloverdale is presumed to be the only middle school in

team members were the honorees for the Grand Re-opening of the Walmart location on
Baseline Road. Over the past year, the Renny Team, led by Advisor Kristina
Peterson, has partnered with the Walmart locations in the community and with
the Walmart Foundation to become their host school. The Renny Kidz were
presented a check for <b>$25,000.00</b>, providing funding for improving the climate and
culture of their school and community. The team was part of a global recognition this summer at the Jostens Renaissance Global Conference in Dallas,
TX, and are well on their way to the Platinum Award level in the near future. Catch
these initiatives and more from the SW Renny Team, and mark your calendar for
their annual Trunk or Treat hosted at LR Southwest on Oct.31st. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><br /></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">King Commission Enlists Star Power to <br />Drive Message of Student Success</span></b></p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgn7_aClxKaArA9t10V2vXimFziLPNoSgODpUYwSRhPgG24aGmGvpsS_QfEBumPB9WhY3HlS_hvNjoPDQsHMe1HrnaiUVdZqyQQc4uBen8qH3H62yDgGeXZWH1DkZzWDGxRA_SoQydWwApMiZY1tdqXgzIigXx_oFCX3TnPtEf5f4J2xfBRU-vd4vyTI2jm" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="479" data-original-width="717" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgn7_aClxKaArA9t10V2vXimFziLPNoSgODpUYwSRhPgG24aGmGvpsS_QfEBumPB9WhY3HlS_hvNjoPDQsHMe1HrnaiUVdZqyQQc4uBen8qH3H62yDgGeXZWH1DkZzWDGxRA_SoQydWwApMiZY1tdqXgzIigXx_oFCX3TnPtEf5f4J2xfBRU-vd4vyTI2jm=w640-h428" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #050505; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Special thanks to the Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission for bringing actor Romeo Miller to speak with FHSA middle school students during their advisory period this week.

Schools, teachers, faith groups, and other youth organizations are encouraged to sponsor and guide students with their submissions. <br /><br />Peace Week began our school programs in 2017 when Pax Christi Little Rock (PCLR) worked with school counselor Mildred Calhoun to develop a peace curriculum for Little Rock’s Rockefeller Elementary. The following year the organization worked with Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) and Little Rock School District to expand these non-violence lesson plans and resources for elementary-age students. Today over 15,000 students participate in Arkansas Peace Week from all over the state.<br /><br />Please visit our website, <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farkansaspeaceweek.us19.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D7ee081711824a04cb224ab77a%26id%3D8832fb9a30%26e%3D776344e528&data=05%7C01%7CPamela.Smith%40lrsd.org%7C1f27a471c6cd42adc03108db9e4c822a%7Cd8f9f5a0e8dc409da46b90f3289c65e6%7C0%7C0%7C638277823677111417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sHCMOsnArrX2HRshUcbt248Me5PvmT8EeR0BwCWpNM0%3D&reserved=0" style="color: #333399; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #007c89;">www.arkansaspeaceweek.com</span></a> or the Facebook Page <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farkansaspeaceweek.us19.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D7ee081711824a04cb224ab77a%26id%3D14a504a714%26e%3D776344e528&data=05%7C01%7CPamela.Smith%40lrsd.org%7C1f27a471c6cd42adc03108db9e4c822a%7Cd8f9f5a0e8dc409da46b90f3289c65e6%7C0%7C0%7C638277823677111417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=S8U2PSYXYYDH0Gl8hFtHsoaQA3TuUGNpKy%2FUNhqQFBQ%3D&reserved=0" style="color: #333399; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #007c89;">https://www.facebook.com/arkansaspeaceweek</span></a> for the latest information.

The following year the organization worked with Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) and Little Rock School District to expand these non-violence lesson plans and resources for elementary-age students. Today over 15,000 students participate in Arkansas Peace Week from all over the state.<br /><br />Please visit our website, <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farkansaspeaceweek.us19.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D7ee081711824a04cb224ab77a%26id%3D8832fb9a30%26e%3D776344e528&data=05%7C01%7CPamela.Smith%40lrsd.org%7C1f27a471c6cd42adc03108db9e4c822a%7Cd8f9f5a0e8dc409da46b90f3289c65e6%7C0%7C0%7C638277823677111417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sHCMOsnArrX2HRshUcbt248Me5PvmT8EeR0BwCWpNM0%3D&reserved=0" style="color: #333399; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #007c89;">www.arkansaspeaceweek.com</span></a> or the Facebook Page <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farkansaspeaceweek.us19.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D7ee081711824a04cb224ab77a%26id%3D14a504a714%26e%3D776344e528&data=05%7C01%7CPamela.Smith%40lrsd.org%7C1f27a471c6cd42adc03108db9e4c822a%7Cd8f9f5a0e8dc409da46b90f3289c65e6%7C0%7C0%7C638277823677111417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=S8U2PSYXYYDH0Gl8hFtHsoaQA3TuUGNpKy%2FUNhqQFBQ%3D&reserved=0" style="color: #333399; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #007c89;">https://www.facebook.com/arkansaspeaceweek</span></a> for the latest information.
