The School Improvement Plan, often nicknamed the SIP, is “a living document” that continues to change throughout the school year, as results call for adjustments.

The Arkansas Student Council voted on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 to send $200 to the International Red Cross.  The vote was 19-0, and the funds are from the Student Council budget.  The donation will be earmarked for Haiti earthquake relief in the name of Arkansas Elementary School.

Thanks for being empathetic, Student Council!  The donation will be much appreciated.

5th grade students are invited to play Orff instruments - xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels - on Thursday mornings - 8:30-9:15am.

Delma Solis Munoz and Azalea Ocon Solis had an unexpected start to their winter break.  On Sunday, December 20, the girls were working on some homework when Azalea's younger brother ran to tell them a child had fallen in the frozen fountain at their apartment complex.  The girls rushed over.  While Delma held the little boy's hand to keep his head above the water and help pull him out, Azalea ran inside to call 911.  The girls were credited with saving the life of the 3-year-old.

At the APS School Board meeting on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, Superintendent John Barry recognized the girls' heroic act.  Each girl received one of Mr. Barry's coins, and they were congratulated by the individual members of the School Board.

Congratulations, Azalea and Delma!  Arkansas is proud that you exhibited ROAR behavior that ended up saving a life!

Delma & Azalea shake the hands of school board members
