🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
Pre-K had a very mischievous visitor during recess—a naughty little Leprechaun! Ever since, our mystery-solving minds have been in overdrive trying to piece together the chaos:
🍀 A crumpled blanket? Clearly the Leprechaun’s doing.
🌶️ Lunch was a little spicy? Must have been the Leprechaun.
💅 Peeling nail polish? Yep, that tricky Leprechaun again.
🕵️♂️ One student suspected a cover-up, but their theory was quickly dismissed.
👃 After sniffing the Leprechaun trail, we now know that Leprechauns smell green… and like mustard.
Next year...there will be no "No Leprechauns Allowed" signs!!
Lucky to be learning! 🍀✨ Our kindergarteners practiced number bonds with a fun St. Patrick’s Day twist! Counting, adding, and a little bit of leprechaun magic made math extra exciting today.

Eureka Springs High School students had an incredible opportunity to participate in the Be Pro Be Proud Draft Day event on Friday, and it was nothing short of inspiring! This event connected students directly with industry leaders, offering hands-on experiences and real-world career opportunities including interviews in high-demand trades and skilled professions.
🔹 Why was this event so beneficial?
✅ Career Exploration – Students discovered high-paying, in-demand jobs that don’t require a four-year degree.
✅ Hands-On Experience – They engaged with state-of-the-art simulators in fields like welding, trucking, plumbing, and advanced manufacturing.
✅ Job & Training Connections – Many students walked away with letters of intent to hire, putting them on the fast track to a successful career.
✅ Real-World Readiness – They gained valuable insights into industries looking for motivated, skilled workers.
This event empowered our students to explore career paths that align with their strengths and passions while also filling critical workforce gaps. We’re so proud of our students for taking this step toward a bright future! 🌟
