Eureka Springs School District

2nd grade's current unit is all about BUGS! 🐞🐜 Students have been busy inventing their very own bugs—thinking through habitats, habits, and food sources—then presenting their creations to the class. Now, they’re bringing those ideas to life by building models of their unique insects! You won’t want to miss these creative (and sometimes a little creepy!) masterpieces—be sure to come to the art show to see their final products!

Happy National School Principals Day! 🍎

Today we celebrate the leaders who keep our schools running strong, support our teachers, and show up every single day for our students. From early mornings to late nights, their dedication, leadership, and heart do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for the guidance, the encouragement, and the countless decisions you make to ensure our schools are a place where everyone can succeed. Your impact reaches far beyond the walls of our buildings.

Spring is in full swing in Mrs. Silzell’s 2nd grade classroom! 🌷🐣 Students have been diving into the life cycle of eggs, watching the amazing process from beginning to end as their chicks hatched right before their eyes. From learning about how eggs develop to seeing the first cracks and finally meeting their fluffy new friends, it’s been an experience they won’t forget! The excitement didn’t stop there—these chicks quickly became part of the class family, with names like Alfredo, Ronaldo, and more bringing lots of smiles and personality to the room. 💛 Hands-on learning like this makes science come alive, and it’s safe to say these second graders are absolutely in love with their new feathered friends!

HIRING: Middle School Math!
