May 18 Election Day

Every evening Lampie, the lighthouse keeper's daughter, must light a lantern to warn ships away from the rocks, but one stormy night disaster strikes. The lantern is not lit, a ship is wrecked, and someone must pay.

To work off her debt, Lampie is banished to the Admiral's lonely house, where a monster is rumored to live. The terrors inside the house aren't quite what she thought they would be--they are even stranger. After Lampie saves the life of the neglected, deformed son of the admiral, a boy she calls Fish, they form a close bond. Soon they are pulled into a fairytale adventure swimming with mermaids, pirates, and misfits. Lampie will discover the courage to fight for friendship, knowledge, and the freedom to be different.

Can a girl who risks her life for books and an alien who loves forbidden pop music work together to save humanity?

Two years ago, a misunderstanding between the leaders of Earth and the invading Ilori resulted in the deaths of one-third of the world’s population.

Ellie’s—and humanity’s—fate rests in the hands of an alien she should fear. M0Rr1S has a lot of secrets, but also a potential solution—thousands of miles away. The two embark on a wild and dangerous road trip with a bag of books and their favorite albums, all the while making a story and a song of their own that just might save them both.

Spring is here and that means Dragon Baseball and Lady Dragon Softball! Come out and support these young men and women this season!

• Game Schedule for 2021
• Fans are asked to bring lawn chairs to games.
• Being outside will be great, but we must continue to practice social distancing and wearing a mask when necessary.

Compassion: Understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it.

Compassion means we care about others, treat them with kindness, and feel a strong desire to help people in need. Compassion is empathy in action.

Next week, Mrs. Holliday will be focusing on the R-factor discipline build skill. Do you have the skills it takes? We will find out next week!

All camps are free!

Camps are June 27th-July 2nd at Arkansas School for Math, Science, and the Arts in Hot Springs.
