Keep searching for interventions that close the gap for all of our kids!

Emilee is a member of the 9-month BCLI leadership program hosted by the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce. BCLI requires members to complete a group project and this year's group created a video that prepares students for interviews and conducted mock interviews at HHS.

Dana Dickard - EC Administrative Assistant, Cindy Lambe – EC/HIPPY Coordinator, Gayle Slape – Assistant HIPPY Coordinator, and Terina Lee – EC Administrative Assistant are wearing their t-shirts representing Arkansas Children’s Week 2022. The theme this year is “Humor and Happiness,” running from April 2 – April 8, 2022. The four positive habits promoting humor and happiness are playfulness, kindness, noticing good stuff and appreciating one another. Early Childhood staff with the ABC Preschool and HIPPY programs help children recognize their power to be kind and enjoy playfulness.
The lineup for the HSTI (Hot Springs Technology Institute) Conference looks pretty strong this year.
I would label this as a "Must Attend Event"!
