This is a journal, not a diary. Let's get that straight first, and even though I'm not big into writing my feelings, I have to admit it was a great day! I woke up, put on my The International School at Mary Mae Jones uniform and got to Bentonville High School for a guest speaker. I wasn't really looking forward to it at first, but it was Jeff Kinney. You know....author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
Apparently, some parent at The International School signed us up to meet the author, and Jeff said okay. He actually donated $1,000 to our school library and gave us 100 more books. Pretty cool, I guess!
Signed, Greg Heffley #whereexcellencelives

Milana Hainline is a relative newcomer to Bentonville Schools, having worked in the district for three years. She serves as a third-grade teacher at Cooper Elementary School, where those who have observed her say she’s a rising star worthy of the Extra Mile Award.
Recently, she worked to bring The Lion King to life on stage and followed that up with a science unit on plant growth in space. Milana secured the opportunity to teach that lesson with the 100th woman to travel in space, Emily Calandrelli, an American scientist and television presenter.
“Milana works to create a classroom setting that is fun but also inclusive of all her students. She cares about her kids, and it shows in her work each day," said Lisa St. John, Executive Director of Elementary Education.
Join us as we celebrate Milana Hainline!
Would you like to nominate a Bentonville Schools' employee for going the Extra Mile? You can do that at bentonvillek12.org under Menu and then About Us. #whereexcellencelives

We feel sure Mr. Sam would've loved this! First graders at The International School at Mary Mae Jones recently visited the new Walmart campus to study how culture connects humans and the structures around us.
They stopped at the Ol'Roy building and talked about why Sam Walton, Walmart's iconic founder, would bring his dog to visit stores. They did the hula at the Hula, studied the nearby water feature and learned how the Walmart Welcome Center is the same size as the company's first store. (Way smaller than the supercenters we know now!)
We hope home office associates loved seeing our young students as much as they loved visiting! #whereexcellencelives
