🎄✨ Ugly Christmas Sweater Day ✨🎄
Today’s 12 Days of Christmas celebration brought out the holiday cheer with some “ugly” sweaters—but how can we call them ugly when they’re worn by such adorable kids? 🥰🎅❤️
Our students (and their festive fashion choices) made this day extra merry and bright! Great job, Eagles, for spreading holiday joy around the school. 🎁🎉

✨ Exciting Hands-On Learning for Our GT Students!
Yesterday, our GT students welcomed Dr. Kevin D. Phelan, Program Director of AR Tech DaSH and Professor of Neuroscience at UAMS – NW campus. He demonstrated how ultrasound and CT imaging work, teaching students to identify structures like skin, bone, muscle, arteries, and veins.
Using an ultrasound, Dr. Phelan performed scans on his arm, neck, heart, and abdomen, sparking curiosity as students analyzed a fluid-filled "spot" on his thyroid and determined it could be a cyst!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Michelle Franklin, our District GT Coordinator, for organizing this incredible experience!
