Mrs. Steinsiek's Kindergarten Art class read Not Just A Scribble by Diane Alber and drew their own book characters from the story.

Kindergarten Registration was a success! We had a great number of future Dragons turn out! Our teachers really enjoyed meeting some of the new Kinders that will join us in the fall. They had a lot of fun helping them make some crafts!

If you missed our event, it is not too late to register- just contact the Elementary Office for assistance at (479)369-2762.

The Lady Dragons' 2021 Softball season came to an end in the first round of the district tournament. It was a tough season for the ladies but they learned a lot, fought hard, and plan to come back stronger next year.

The Dragons Baseball team is still in play. They beat Lavaca in the district tournament and faced a very solid Mansfield team in the championship game. The Dragons are the 2021 Class 4AA Conference and District Runner-Up! It is believed that this is the first time in 20+ years that a Dragon baseball team has been in the district championship game.

The team will be in regional tournament play on Thursday at 5:30 in Mountain Home. Follow the school Facebook page, follow the Live Feed on the website, or download the DragonsLink App for updates. Good luck Dragons!
