Bomber Update: Mrs. Dewey discusses the bus accident that happened last weekend, and she gives praise to all involved in the situation. https://youtu.be/1MeSlkCyIUE
Today Sgt. Britt Clements and TFC Clint Henderson of the Arkansas State Police visited Mr. Meurer's Foundations of Law Enforcement class. They spoke with students about accident investigation, explaining not only how it’s done, but why it’s done that way. They did an excellent job engaging the class and even had students using calculators to determine a vehicle’s speed. It was a great hands-on learning experience for everyone involved.
Our MHJH Quiz Bowl team competed in the Co-op tournament at Ozarka in Melbourne yesterday. We had a close game against Mammoth Spring and won, we had the closest game against ICC that any team of Mr. Kerr's has ever had but came up just short, and then we faced off against a good Rural Special team and lost. Overall, Mr. Kerr feels it was good preparation for our upcoming conference tournament.
Our next event will be the 6A conference tournament in Marion on Jan 31.
Pictured are: Kaleb Gray, Addison Chisenhall, Ricia Recktenwald, Eliza Obert, Taylor St. Clair, Taylen Broadway, Alena Alvarez, and Presley Mayfield.
From Mr. Kerr: "A positive to take away from today, besides the preparation, is that a gentleman from Rural Special told me that he thought that our students were very well-behaved and that it was a pleasure to play against a team with students like ours."

The spirit of giving was on full display today as Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3246 presented Nelson Wilks Herron Elementary School with a generous donation of toys along with a $4,500 check to support the MHHS’s LT Thrift Store Christmas Wish program.

NWH counselor Katie Criner joined them for the presentation, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic 2nd-grade “helper elves” who added holiday cheer to the event.
Mrs. Criner stated that “We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from VFW Post 3246, Their generosity directly impacts families right here in our community and helps make Christmas brighter for so many of our students.”
Special thanks were also extended to the VFW Canteen and the dedicated bingo players, whose contributions and participation make donations like this possible year after year.
