Renee Swindell, founder of the Bentonville-Rogers Junior Cotillion, recently taught students at Thomas Jefferson Leadership Academy the importance of good friends and manners. The session is one of the school's most popular after-school programs!

Aside from dining etiquette, these young ladies and gentlemen learned the importance of a handwritten thank-you note, appropriate dinner time conversations and how to introduce friends to one another. It's part of Thomas Jefferson's learning curriculum focused on fashioning tomorrow's leaders.

Good eye contact, a firm handshake and a pleasant smile are absolute game changers in this life! Sixth graders at Creekside Middle School are learning these soft skills in their career coursework, practicing professional communication, answering common interview questions and sharing their strengths, interests and goals confidently.

Their teacher, Tara Millington, finished the unit by arranging mock interviews in which students pretended to interview at their favorite businesses! Go get 'em, Creekside! #whereexcellencelives

The word echelon is often defined as signifying an upper tier. How appropriate that Arav Ashish, a fourth grader at Willowbrook Elementary, spelled that word to win the Benton County Spelling Bee recently! He will compete for the state spelling title in Little Rock next month! Arav is the son of proud parents, Dhanya Venugopal & Ashish Nambiar.
We're proud of the top-tier students and families who call Bentonville Schools home! #whereexcellencelives
