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!

📣 It’s time to start welcoming our NEW staff members at Eureka Springs School District!
We’re excited for another year of wonderful learning — and thrilled to introduce Mrs. Ashley Wellman to our team! 🍎📚
Ashley is an author, local business owner, and experienced educator who has worked with students of all ages. This year, she’ll be bringing her passion and creativity to 2nd grade at Eureka Springs Elementary! 🎉
We asked her:
1️⃣ What inspired you to join Eureka Springs Schools?
Eureka Springs Schools feels like home. My two daughters attend our middle school, and I wanted to be part of a school community that values the arts, creativity, and kindness. Eureka Springs Schools felt like a perfect place to foster a love of learning and reading in my students while supporting them in becoming their best selves.
2️⃣ What’s one fun fact about you students might be surprised to learn?
I write children’s books! I’ve created stories about a skeleton named Fresno, classic fairy tales, curious creatures, and what ghosts do when tourists leave town!
3️⃣ What was your favorite subject in school—and why?
English (but math is a close second)! I loved getting lost in stories and seeing how words could create worlds, inspire people, and help us understand each other better. I'm excited about second grade, because that is the grade where I truly fell in love with books and reading.
4️⃣ What’s your favorite local spot to eat, shop, or unwind in Eureka Springs?
My favorite spot is Amused Fine Art & Extraordinary Books! It’s our family’s art gallery and bookstore downtown, filled with signed children’s books, whimsical art, and gifts that spark joy. It’s a happy place where stories come alive!
Help us give her a warm #EurekaWelcome! 💙✨
