Back-to-School Bedtime Reminder! 💤📚
As we count down to the first day of school, now is a great time to start easing back into a school-year bedtime routine. A consistent bedtime helps children feel rested, focused, and ready to learn each day. Try moving bedtime a little earlier each night this week and next so the transition is smooth and stress-free. Sweet dreams and see you soon!

🚀 Exciting News from Eureka Springs Middle School!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded an Arkansas PLTW (Project Lead The Way) Grant to bring Design and Modeling to our upper middle school students! 🙌
This hands-on, minds-on course introduces students to the world of engineering and design. Using the engineering design process, students will:
🛠️ Sketch and model their own prototypes
💡 Explore 3D modeling and CAD software
🔍 Solve real-world problems through teamwork and creativity
We’re also excited to share that Ms. Ellis will be teaching this new semester course! With her passion for STEM and innovation, she’s ready to inspire the next generation of creators and problem-solvers.
Design and Modeling helps students build critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills—all while having a blast creating and innovating. It’s the perfect introduction to STEM pathways like architecture, engineering, and robotics!
A huge THANK YOU to the Arkansas Department of Education and PLTW for supporting future-ready learning at Eureka Springs! 🌟

📚✏️ Teachers never stop learning—especially in the summer!

🎨 Use American art as text
🎯 Build student agency through visual storytelling
👀 Model close looking to boost observation and critical thinking
This powerful training equips educators to integrate visual literacy into every subject, helping students become more engaged, empathetic, and analytical learners.

🎉 Exciting news for Eureka Springs Elementary School! 🎉
We’ve been awarded a $5,000 Childhood Activity Grant from the Carroll County Community Foundation! 🙌 This grant is focused on increasing physical activity and fighting childhood obesity — and we’ve got a fun and engaging plan ahead!
With the funds, we’re purchasing an interactive wall and floor display system that combines learning with movement. Students will be able to play over 200 active games that blend academics and physical activity — think practicing multiplication facts while running across the floor, learning science vocabulary by jumping to the right answer, playing virtual soccer, or even exploring music by stepping on a giant piano! ⚽🎶📚
Of course, we love getting outside, but this is the perfect indoor option for those rainy or chilly days.
A huge THANK YOU to the CCCF for helping us keep our students active, engaged, and learning! 💙
