🌟 Hustlin’ Highlander of the Week 🌟
Sponsored by Island Airco
This week, we are proud to recognize Everleigh McCullough as our Hustlin’ Highlander of the Week!
Mrs. Fortson, FFA sponsor, states "Our FFA chapter is proud to celebrate Everleigh for the incredible impact she has already made in her first year in FFA. She has jumped right in by competing in Speaking Events and serving as a member of our Veterinary Science Career Development team.
Everleigh consistently challenges herself while also encouraging her teammates to grow and improve. Along with her FFA involvement, she excels academically and represents our chapter with integrity, dedication, and leadership.
We are incredibly proud of the work ethic and positive example she brings to our program.
👏 Congratulations, Everleigh! 👏

First graders had a special visitor yesterday as part of our reading of Charlotte’s Web! 🕸️🐷
Students joined a live Zoom “Piggy Chat” with local pig celebrity Fatboy and his owner. Our young readers were excited to ask questions like:
• What do pigs like to eat?
• Do pigs run?
• Do pigs like to play games?
Fatboy was quite the star and even dressed up for the interview — wearing sunglasses! 😎 The class loved seeing a real pig while learning more about Wilbur and life on the farm.
It was a wonderful way to bring literature to life and spark curiosity about animals!

🏀 Hustlin Highlander of the Week 🏀
Sponsored by Island Airco
We have another Highlander to celebrate!!!
"Kenner is the true definition of grit and heart. He played the entire season with an injured wrist — no excuses, no complaints, and never once stepping away from the work. Day after day, he showed up and gave everything he had for his team.
That’s real toughness. That’s commitment. That’s Highlander pride."
Congratulations, Kenner! We are proud of you!! 💪🔥
We're running behind! 🏃 Recognizing Cael Dempsie as last week's Hustlin' Highlander of the Week! Mr. Wells states, "Cael is a consistent positive presence in our quiz bowl team, contributing for seven years already, always willing to learn and keen to compete. With a skeleton crew due to illness, Cael helped set up the event, captained us at regionals with an All-Tournament performance, and stayed to help clean up after. He is the genuine article." Way to go! Sponsored by Island Airco
Our Pre-K students went for the gold this morning at their very own Olympics! 🥇❄️
From curling and hockey to speed skating, our little athletes gave it their all while building important math skills and staying active. Measuring, counting, timing, and cheering each other on — learning was happening in every event!
The smiles were big, the competition was friendly, and fun was had by all. We are so proud of our future champions! 💙🏅:

Our chess teams faced a strong regional field this Saturday at ESHS and booked their tickets to the state tournament on Saturday, April 18th, in Little Rock. The junior high squad finished second in a Haas Hall podium sandwich (ahead of Fayetteville, half a point behind Bentonville). The senior high team won the event outright, relegating rising rival Cedarville to second and the Haas Halls to third and fourth. Give a shout out to a chess player when you see them!
Here is the testing calendar for March!
🔥 **Smokin’ Good Work Award – Sponsored by Bubba’s BBQ** 🔥
This week’s award goes to **Mr. Orrie!**
When it comes to juggling a full plate, Mr. Orrie does it with total professionalism, courtesy, and reliability. No matter how many technology requests come his way, he goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of — quickly and with a smile.
Nominators shared that our classrooms and students would truly be lost without him! From troubleshooting daily tech needs to helping staff navigate the Windows 11 updates (and all those login hiccups 😉), he is always kind, considerate, and ready to drop everything to help.
His positive attitude is contagious, and his willingness to serve makes a difference every single day. Thank you, Mr. Orrie, for keeping us up and running — and for doing it with such a great spirit! 👏🔥

2–2 on the day and just shy of bringing home hardware—but what a day for our Elementary Quiz Bowl Scottie Scholars! 🏆✨
They battled through tough questions, quick buzzers, and strong competition with grit and teamwork. Even more impressive? The way they represented our school—respectful, responsible, and safe from start to finish.
They grew, they learned, and they made us proud. That’s a win in our book! 💙📚
Our 6th grade Science students brought the heat (and the cool air!) today 🌎
They played an interactive game to demonstrate how ocean currents impact air temperatures in coastal cities around the world. By modeling warm and cold currents, students could actually see how places at the same latitude can have very different climates.
Hands-on learning + real-world connections = science that sticks! 🌊🌡️
It’s School Bus Driver Appreciation Week! 🚌💛
This week, we’re celebrating the incredible men and women who are the first smiling faces our students see in the morning and the last friendly wave they get in the afternoon. Rain or shine, early mornings and long routes — our bus drivers show up with patience, kindness, and a commitment to safety every single day.
If you see one of our amazing drivers this week, take a moment to say thank you. A small note, a wave, or a kind word goes a long way!
