Child Growth & Development students explored how children grow by practicing different types of play: sensory-motor, passive, skill mastery, and active play. Students learned that playing is how children learn, build skills, and discover the world!

Only students who have NWACC Spring 2026 courses listed on their SSPs and have a specific NWACC course or an NWACC App Request placeholder on their schedule can register for Spring NWACC courses. These students received an email with additional registration details.

Last week BHS students had the privilege to hear from supply chain professionals from our region on the topic of "Build or Buy? Supply Chain Innovations". The engagement provided key insights to BHS business and technology students interested in the dynamic field of supply chain management.

Huge thank you goes out to JD Cooper and the entire Ozark CSCMP (Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals) for hosting this insightful session for our students. This type of commitment and support is truly what makes Bentonville Schools, Where Excellence Lives!

We would also like to thank our panel, Adam Jones with Plug and Play, Sri Thirumali with Walmart Last Mile Delivery, and Phil Shellhammer with the University of Arkansas Entrepreneurship and Innovation department.
