CRHS GT PROGRAM TO PROMOTE TOURISM IN CALICO ROCK

A 2 year vision was presented to the CRHS student body to paint interactive murals throughout Calico Rock to promote tourism and community involvement. Maddie Thornton volunteered on behalf of the Gifted & Talented students, to speak as a student advocate to present the idea to the City Council. Maddie and Mrs. Pool came up with different mural ideas to be painted over a period of time. Mayor Greg Hamby volunteered the City Hall building for the first 2-3 interactive murals. This Fall, the CRHS GT will join forces with the Art Teacher, Mr. Baker, to begin the project. The council voted unanimously in support of this project.  The first 2 murals will be 2 sets of wings and a fun fishing scenery. More to come in 2021!

August Claim Update

The Calico Rock School District is pleased to announce that USDA has authorized all meals served in August to be at no cost to the students because the Calico Rock School District was approved for the Seamless Summer program earlier this year! We will be serving meals to all students at no cost as long as funds are available until December 31, 2020!

However, we need all families to continue to fill out and return meal applications just as you have in the past.  Your school district receives federal dollars based on the number of students who are eligible for free or reduced meals.  In other words, the more students who are eligible, the more federal dollars the district receives to pay for things like tutoring and technology.

If you need assistance with the application contact Stacy Sherrill at the high school (870)-297-3745, Julie Hargett at the elementary (870)-297-8533 or Chelsie Moss at the central office (870-297-8339.  As always, we are glad to help our Pirate families. 

Thank you for your support.
