Our Pinkston Girls Running Club runs on Monday afternoons for about six weeks in the spring. The group -- including faculty sponsors Mrs. Lashley, Mrs. Coley, Mrs. McNeely, Mrs. Porter, and Mrs. Perryman -- focuses on positive body image and physical activity without competition. What a fantastic crew!
Pinkston's Charlie May Simon Book Club has finished their reading and voting for the 2022 school year! Thanks to the Mountain Home Education Foundation, every participant was given multiple books from the Charlie May Simon nomination list and a Charlie May Simon Book Club shirt. The Charlie May Simon Award is voted on by fourth through sixth grade students in the state of Arkansas. Students met during the second semester to discuss their favorite books and convince others to read their choices.
Seventh grade students entered the Arkansas Literacy Association's Writing Showcase. Our very own Ava placed third in the state. Congratulations!
Yesterday, sixth and seventh grade readers were rewarded with a trip to a Springfield Cardinals game. Together, this group read over 600 books and 80,000 minutes! Great work from a great group of kids!
