Congratulations to the 5th-grade Visual Art student Annabelle Hardin!
This year's exhibition expands to four works per grade, Kindergarten through 12th grade, with a total of 52 works in the selection.
"Now in its 65th year, the Young Arkansas Artists (YAA) exhibition continues its tradition of honoring the imagination and talent of students and educators across the state. This milestone recognizes generations of young artists whose work reveals the exploration and determination that begin in the classroom and extend far beyond it. The exhibition also highlights Arkansas art educators, who play a central role in this legacy. Their guidance shapes students’ skills, nurtures creativity, and inspires young artists to pursue their ideas with confidence. Together, the artworks selected each year demonstrate the breadth of artistic expression found throughout Arkansas and the innovative, thoughtful approaches students bring to every medium."

5th grade students took our arguments to the courtroom last week. Each lawyer team represented either the prosecution or defense of programs and people from our text, "Orphan Train Rider." They also served on the jury and had to analyze responses for clear points, evidence, and explanations. #MultiSensoryLearning #DepthOfKnowledge #CultureForLearning

Team Excalibur students were making paper during Knight Time after reading and analyzing a text about how to do it. We also learned about how people in Ancient Egypt used papyrus to make paper. #MultiSensoryLearning #DepthOfKnowledge #CultureForLearning
