Mrs. Browning's second grade classes have been learning about how countries celebrate the holidays. They enjoyed making (and eating!) yule logs from France. Joyeux Noel!
Very excited to announce that Camryn Graves has been accepted to Northark after visiting on Tuesday! Way to go!
Basketball games originally scheduled against West Side Greers Ferry on 12/12 have been rescheduled to 12/21, and junior girls will now be playing instead of the junior boys.
We tried the trending secret teacher/staff dress up week to see if students noticed. Day one was flannel, and despite pretty much every one wearing it, very few students seemed to notice. Day two was hunter vs hunted. The camouflage was noticed more than the animal print. Day three is Christmas attire, and we were finally able to take a picture! Please note more were dressed up but in class. Anyone curious about what day four will be?... it's escalating a bit!
Kindergarten students made ornaments out of modeling clay and decorated them in Art class.
The items from the FFA fruit sale are here! If you sold items, they need to be picked up today. Mr. Corby May will be at the ball games tonight if you are unable to pick up items during school today
I am needing parents of students who have immunization exemptions to get me a copy of the approval letter for the 2023/24 school year.
The Arkansas Dept of Health is authorized by ACT 999 of 2003 to grant individual exemptions from the immunization requirements. After the guardians have received your approval letter, you are responsible for notifying the student's school that your exemption request has been approved. A copy of the approval letter is to be placed in the student's file at school.
If your child has an exemption form , I need a copy of the approval letter. If you have not filed for the form , please do so at the Arkansas Dept of Health website.

Arkansas Children’s Hospital will again offer a virtual-only Good Mourning Grief Support Group series for students in grades K-12 and their parents/guardians. The Parent Orientation will be Monday, January 8 and groups will begin the following week on Monday and Tuesday evenings and go for 8 weeks. This means that December is the best time, if at all possible, for families to submit online applications. There is NO CHARGE for the program, and because it's virtual, the series will be available to any family in Arkansas. You can contact Greg Adams at 501-364-6549 for more information.

With the collaboration of Mrs. Richmond, second graders participated in a Thanksgiving Break Out Box activity! This activity was the perfect ending to a unit in teamwork. The first place teams demonstrated a great effort in teamwork, math skills, many different reading challenges, and was able to save Tom the Turkey from being Thanksgiving dinner!
Happy Thanksgiving! Viola School will be closed all week so families can better enjoy the holiday.
Miss McIntosh's first grade has been learning about sound this week. Before their Thanksgiving Break students did a lab where they observed vibrations from tuning forks making salt seem to move on its own!
Students took an industry visit to Baxter Health and got to visit the simulation center. They got to draw blood from a dummy arm, work as physical therapists, learn about feeding patients with special eating needs, and get dressed out for surgery.
Hoop Shoot competition will begin at Viola after Thanksgiving break. The event is sponsored by the Elks Lodge.
