Today was the last day of our adult English classes. After reviewing their tests, the students held a celebration to recognize their accomplishments in completing Level 2.

Mr. Cooper and the Golden Bars club gave an incredible performance for our students today. The club even performed one of their own original songs! We are so grateful for their talent, creativity, and energy.

Arcola is in the house! Fund our children! Fund our schools! Send a message on who/what we value as a county! Hard choices yes, but important investment!

Today our steering committee reviewed student voice data from grades 3–5. We’re proud to share that our students feel safe at school, have clear ideas about the after-school clubs they want, and are dreaming big about their futures. Their voice helps guide our work! 🐊
