Our Scotties are leveling up! 📚🎉
Students at Eureka Springs Elementary are making big gains in Lexia, and their reading skills are growing every single day. We are so proud of the hard work they’re putting in!
As they "level up", students earn a token to visit our book vending machine—where they get to choose a brand-new book of their own. We love seeing the excitement, the thoughtful book choices, and of course… ringing the bell! 🔔📖
Way to go, Scotties! Keep reading and keep shining ❤️🖤
It's Career and Technical Ed Month! Today, we want to feature a senior in our Business Program!
🌟 CTE Spotlight: Holley Wood 🌟
The Academics 📚
By the end of her senior year, Holley will have completed three full CTE programs of study:
Retail Management
Digital Marketing
Hospitality & Tourism
The Leadership 🗣️
Holley isn’t just a participant; she is a leader. She has served as an FBLA officer since her freshman year, rising through the ranks from Secretary (9th grade) to Vice President (10th & 11th grade), and now leads the chapter as FBLA President.
Skills in Action: The Inaugural Pickleball Tournament 🥒🏓
Holley is currently putting her CTE skills to the ultimate test by organizing the Inaugural Pickleball Tournament.
-Digital Marketing: She designed a custom website for information and registration.
-Community Partnership: She partnered with the Eureka Springs Community Center.
-Philanthropy: The event supports FBLA initiatives, while a special donation jar will raise funds for Arkansas Alzheimer's to support caregivers of family members with Alzheimer's.
In Her Own Words:
"I highly recommend CTE for students who are looking to expand their abilities and knowledge in a real way that will stick with them for life. Practicing professional relationships, communication, and leadership are some of the most important skills to learn and they are the heart of Business CTE."
Congratulations, Holley (pictured with the camera), on a stellar high school career and best of luck in college studying Business and Accounting!
