We had some tasty treats last week in our cafeterias!
Pinkston celebrated the 20th American Graffiti Day today in a culminating activity for reading the novel "The Outsiders " by SE Hinton. The students participated in activities around the 1960s, dressed up, hosted/listened to a concert of music from the 60s, participated in activities from the era, and viewed a car show.
Thank you to all of the parents, volunteers, faculty, and car owners for making this day a memorable experience!
Lots of important homecoming week updates for students of all ages! Have a great weekend! https://youtu.be/uFyAJ65Y1tg
7th grade Honors Literacy is wrapping up a unit with a visit from local attorney -- and Pinkston parent -- Cole Ezell. Mr Ezell spoke to students about laws and answered questions to help students write opening statements and get ready for their mock trials.
Attention home school/private school parents/guardians:
****A message from Mrs. Dewey****
Parents/Guardians,
I told you last month that we had additional plans coming for ways to address school safety, student social media use, etc. One of these plans is an upcoming expert speaker who will share with local parents and guardians about the risks of social media for children.
This presentation will take place on Monday, November 11 from 6-7:30 p.m. in Dunbar Auditorium.
Due to the nature of some of the content, children will not be allowed in the presentation, but I am grateful to the MHPTO group for agreeing to provide onsite childcare during this event for those who need it. This presentation is tiered as far as ages go, so parents with children of any age will find it beneficial.
Thanks again to the MHPTO for helping us secure this speaker and for supporting our families in need of childcare during the event.
Allyson Dewey
Superintendent
This is a FANTASTIC opportunity for parent/guardian education -- especially in light of recent social media issues in our area and across the country. Keep in mind, this presentation is for parents/guardians/adult community members only, as there will be explanations of content that might not be suitable for children.
Want to join our team? Join us on Tuesday, October 15 in Dunbar Auditorium from 4-6 p.m. for a job fair!
Some of our students honor our principals for National Principals Month! https://youtu.be/oNCbzlNgWQo
Our 6th grade science students got to experience one of the most anticipated hands-on lessons of the year: creating solar ovens to investigate energy transfer!
Our annual flu clinics will be held at all MHPS campuses next week. These clinics are conducted by the Arkansas Department of Health. Packets have been distributed to every student, but if you need a copy, you may contact your child's school nurse to get one. Please fill the packet out completely and send it back to your child's nurse before the clinic date.
Happy National Custodians Day!
