We had an incredible ESHS FBLA meeting today featuring a true Eureka Springs business icon! 🌟 We were honored to hear from Yume Leavell, the owner of two beloved local shops: East By West and Caroline's Collectables.
It was a special "Highlander Family" moment as Yume was introduced by her son, our FBLA Vice President and graduating senior, Kenner Leavell! As a mom of three ESHS students and a business owner for 31 years, Yume shared invaluable wisdom about juggling multiple ventures, adapting to market changes, and building a legacy in our community.
To top it all off, she brought a special assistant: her bunny, Jack! 🐇 Jack was the perfect co-presenter and definitely the most popular guest in the room.
Thank you, Yume, for sharing your time, your experience, and Jack with us!

Local filmmaker, Byron Thomas, presented his and Tyler Allee's award winning short film "A Dish Best Served Cold" to Mr. Louderback's Media Communications and A/V Productions students. A nice Q&A session followed the screening that brought a behind the scenes look into their experience of making their film. Both Byron and Tyler are alumni of Eureka Springs High School, too!

The Highlanders Mountain Bike Team had a great first race of the season in Siloam Springs! Girls placed 2nd overall and the newbies all cleared the somewhat scary drops with no problem at all. Our team has been working hard for months to gain the skills to ride a course like this safely. Well done team!!!!!
