Today is the 80th anniversary of the June 6, 1944, D-Day landings, when more than 150,000 Allied soldiers invaded France by sea and air to drive out the forces of Nazi Germany. Our world might look very different had it not been for the courageous resolve of the Allied forces. Spend time talking to anyone alive on this date 80 years ago. There's a reason they're known as the greatest generation. #whereexcellencelives

One of Bentonville's finest right here! Corporal Melissa Fox is the school resource officer at Washington Junior High School. WJHS eighth-grader Jacoby Hook nominated her for the Extra Mile Award. In his nomination, Jacoby wrote, "Officer Fox is always encouraging and helpful. Even outside of school, she always goes out of her way to speak to me.” Cpl. Fox said the most important thing she does is make students feel seen. "Serving as an SRO involves being an unofficial counselor,” Cpl. Fox said. “I’m thankful I’ve been allowed to pour into these young lives and, ultimately, find common ground with them,” she told us. Cpl. Fox began her law enforcement career in Salt Lake City but grew up in Los Angeles. As a child, she noticed law enforcement always ran to danger. She admired their commitment to sacrifice for something bigger than themselves. She works daily to model the best of law enforcement, gaining students' trust along the way. You're family, Cpl. Fox! Thank you for going the Extra Mile! #whereexcellencelives

Amanda Hinds is a Lincoln Junior High School science teacher and our April Extra Mile Award recipient. Recently, Amanda took the reins to make 2024 Eclipse America memorable for her students. She planned a Disco At The Eclipse event, calling it a DATE to remember. (See what she did there.) Amanda arranged music, a scavenger hunt and ensured all students had viewing glasses to avoid A Panic At The Disco as she put it. Amanda has gained a reputation for her unwavering commitment to her students, particularly young ladies who may face challenges balancing schoolwork, social media, and personal relationships. She has organized at-school fitness sessions, cosmetology classes and is the queen of positive posts on Instagram. She said, “I get the chance every day to build up the next generation, helping them see their strengths.” Please join us in congratulating Amanda for making Bentonville Schools #whereexcellencelives.
