🚧✨ Big shout-out to our General Maintenance team — James Wright and Don Fells!
The week of September 22nd, they built a brand-new ramp for our back dock, and it’s already making a huge difference. Now our custodians can take out the trash without dragging it across the ground, our kitchen staff can move supplies more easily, and deliveries can come in smoother than ever.
On behalf of our SHMS Custodians, we just want to say a huge thank you for the hard work, skill, and care you put into keeping our school running strong. 👏💙🐻

There’s something special about starting the day with our students raising the flag. It’s a simple act, but it reminds us of responsibility, pride, and community. Watching them take part in this tradition is the perfect way to head into the weekend with grateful hearts. 💙🐻

🎓🐻 Happy AVID Wednesday, Bears! 🐻🎓
Today we’re shouting out the HEART of our school—the SHMS cafeteria team! 💙 Every morning they’re up early fueling our Bears so we can tackle college, career, and LIFE with energy and focus. From the smiling greetings in the breakfast line to the hustle at lunch, they’re showing us what hard work, teamwork, and dedication look like in action.
Our cafeteria workers are true role models for college and career readiness—proving that every role matters, every detail counts, and every person makes a difference. 🙌
So when you see them today, give them a BIG Bear thank you 🐾👏! We couldn’t do it without them. #AVID #CollegeAndCareerReady #SHMSBearsShine

REMINDER! 🎓 PCSSD puts AVID in Action ✨. At College Station Elementary, teachers brought college to our classrooms — sharing campus stories, degree opportunities, and real advice from their alma maters 🏫. Tomorrow, join the fun: wear a college or career shirt to school. 👕 #PCSSDproud #ServeAll #AVID #CollegeReady

🎶 Maumelle Middle School was alive with harmony Saturday as over 125 talented students from across Pulaski County Special School District came together for an epic Jr. High All-Region Choir prep clinic! 🎤
This musical boot camp, orchestrated by Junior High and Middle School Choir Directors, was all about helping students hit the right notes — and secure their spot in the Region 2 Jr. High All-Region Choir at tryouts in Cabot on October 4. 🎼
