Eureka Springs School District

✨ Floatin’ into Friday! ✨ Our middle school teachers were surprised in their classrooms with root beer floats today to celebrate another great week at school. 🍦🥤 Cheers to sweet endings and an even sweeter staff! 💙💛

🏐 Hustlin’ Highlander of the Week 🏐 This week’s Volleyball Athlete of the Week is Maddy Johnson! 🎉 Coach Bower says: “Maddy has been very consistent for us; making plays behind the service line, intimidating on defense when she’s hitting, and she’s been growing as a stuff blocker as well.” Way to go, Maddy! Keep hustling hard and making the Highlanders proud! 💪❤️ ✨ Sponsored by Island Airco ✨

We were happy to welcome the Eureka Springs Rotary Club for lunch and to host their meeting today! 🌟 It’s always a joy to partner with community leaders who support our students and schools. Thank you for spending your afternoon with us! 💙💛

🇺🇸 Today, on 9/11, a pivotal day in history, Eureka Springs Middle School dedicated a new flagpole outside the building. This meaningful project, initiated by Cody Taylor and sponsored by WoodmenLife, was brought to life through the hard work of our SkillsUSA students and maintenance department. During this morning’s ceremony, we paused to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11. The band performed the Star-Spangled Banner, a poem was read, and our new flag was proudly raised for the first time. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this moment possible. ❤️🤍💙
