Field Day was the perfect way to celebrate the last day of school! ☀️🎉 From games and inflatables to great food and time spent together, our students had an incredible day making memories with friends and staff.
We are so thankful for the many people and community partners who helped make the day possible. A huge thank you to Signature Bank and Tyson Foods for donating hot dogs for our cookout, and to our amazing SRO and the Springdale Police Department for grilling and serving food for students throughout the day.
We also appreciate Zenith Coffee for welcoming our students during the celebration, and Backyard Bounce NWA for partnering with us to bring the inflatable slide and obstacle course that students enjoyed all day long.
Thank you to everyone who helped us send students into summer with smiles, laughter, and a day to remember. Have a great summer!
