Mountain Home Public Schools

Mrs. Dewey reminds families about tomorrow's early dismissal and shares just a few of the festive things that have happened over the last 3 weeks at MHPS! https://youtu.be/kWBIQ-OMUMc

The Mountain Home Public Schools food service department received a substantial donation this holiday season from FOP Lodge #45. This money was used to pay off multiple students' meal balances. We are so thankful for local groups that are always thinking of our students!

Mrs. Perryman’s 6th grade literacy classes got rewarded for growing/meeting the 6th grade goal for the middle of the year Reading MAP test. They celebrated with a movie and yummy treats! A student who showed the most growth from the beginning of year test to the middle of year test from each class, and a student with the highest score from each class, each got a $10 Sonic giftcard for their hard work. Most growth per class: Hayden Daniel, Ryker King, Olivia Seals, Josh Murphy, Hunter Cheek, and Maci Garrison Highest score per class: Martin Castillo (not pictured), Karmin Gibbs, Ryder Eaton, Emma Nagrocki, Peyton Vann, and Abby Henry We are so proud of all the hard work these students put in 🎉

Congratulations to Betsy Barr & Ella Morris! 🎶 Both of these Pinkston Middle School 7th graders qualified for the Region 6 Junior High All-Region Band. They competed with over 600 7th, 8th & 9th graders from 25 other schools in Northwest Arkansas. Students had blind auditions after learning 5 etudes, 14 scales and sightreading at Harrison Middle School on December 14th. These girls will attend the All-Region Clinic in Bentonville on January 24-25, 2025. Ella plays the French horn and Betsy plays the clarinet. This is a huge accomplishment for young musicians!

Congrats to the winners of the Hacker Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest!

Thanks to First Security Bank for this month's MHJH Leadership Award! Bentley Lemons was this month's recipient, and here's a brief summary of why she was nominated! Good afternoon! Please see the photo below for our First Security Bank Leadership award winner for November. Here is a small summary of why she was nominated! Bentley Lemons is a leader in and out of the classroom. She is involved in many extracurricular activities including dance, student council, flight crew, and many others. She is responsible, goal oriented, organized, and works well with her peers. One specific event I noticed her leadership skills was during Homecoming week. She led both Student Council and Flight Crew in decorating the Freshman Class Float including making decisions about theme and decor and helping organize who would do what on each night of decorating. Bentley is an exceptional student and works hard at everything does.
