Mountain Home Public Schools

From Mr. Hargett, MHHS Art Teacher: I just wanted to share what our Art students did yesterday at First Security Bank. Madison Jordan, Jaden Barnes, Alma Rowden, Gracie Cakora, Elizabeth Noyoyla, Izac Biting, and Roanin Pierson. The conditions were rough with high winds and wind chill. The kids were very uncomfortable. They took breaks in their cars and went into the bank occasionally to warm up. They stayed with it and had great attitudes! We started at 8 and finished about 2:45. First Security was very good to us, providing pizza for lunch and anything else we needed. Mrs. Wehmeyer has already asked us to come back next year and wants us to do the other bank as well. I am so proud of these kids!

A fun family event!

Thanks to North Arkansas Electric's Sole Power project for providing a new pair of athletic shoes to every third grade student at Mountain Home Public Schools (and other districts within the NAEC service area).

Friday was a much-anticipated day at Hackler Intermediate School. Fourth grade students got to dissect owl pellets in Ms. Resor's class! They found several kinds of skulls to identify along with different colors of fur!

Pinkston Outdoor Adventures and Relevant Reading classes invited Clayton Thompson, Deer Management Assistance Program Biologist from the National Deer Association, to teach students how DMAP assists hunters. He also showed them how to age a deer by using the lower jaw bone and how to score a buck by measuring their antlers. Thanks to Mr. Thompson for sharing his expertise!
