Holcomb Elementary School students have been working on a special sidewalk chalk installation with University of Arkansas intern, Mrs. Abby Arteaga. The project was inspired by the Heidelberg Project, whose mission is to improve the lives of people and neighborhoods through art. Holcomb artists have created quite a showpiece on their sidewalks and had lots of fun with the art project!
Holt Middle School principal Matt Morning and John L Colbert Middle School principal Warren Collier visited several elementary schools this morning to promote the exciting new Middle School Choice options that will be offered at those two schools next year.

Schwinn Bikes stunt cyclist Chris Clark presented some AMAZING tricks today at Holcomb Elementary School with an inspiring presentation for staff and third and fourth grade students!
Chris’ school program was developed to inspire children to find an active, healthy passion and use their desire to constantly improve as a means for keeping their lives on track, making healthy decisions, and surrounding themselves with like-minded friends.
Following the speaking portion of the program, Chris shows the audience what is possible with hard work and dedication with a demonstration of the skills he has developed in his years of national and international cycling competitions. Students see first-hand what can be achieved with hard work, dedication, and by leading a healthy lifestyle.

FPS Child Nutrition staff enjoyed hands-on professional development with chef Kent Getzin. Chef Getzin joins us from Chelan, Washington, thanks to a generous grant funded and supported by the Lifetime Foundation.
The Child Nutrition staff was instructed to create original recipes after learning about the fundamentals of taste physiology and flavor development. Food was then prepared by staff using the new recipes, and staff members all sampled the food in a taste test. Recipes approved by the staff will be used throughout the district in our lunch program!
Friday, September 23 will be an Online Learning Day for our staff members. Students will not attend school on Friday.
