Location: Hot Springs Arkansas at Fountain Lake School

Time/Date: Friday, April 27th 9:00-2:00

This is a 4th grade project that the students have been trying to accomplish since the beginning of the school year.  The 4th grade decided to make their goal an ark for the Heifer International Program.  We have been studying the Heifer program all school year and have done many different fundraisers and activities that have been student led or  teacher led to raise the money.  An ark is $5000, the highest goal to reach.  Not only is the 4th grade leading the pack for this fundraiser, but the preschool thru 3rd grade is now involved. 

Daniel Cayce Award winner will receive $1,000 scholarship

LITTLE ROCK – The University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service is accepting applications for the 2011-12 Daniel Cayce Award, given annually to an Arkansas high school student who best demonstrates selfless volunteerism on behalf of his or her community.

The school encourages Arkansas high school juniors and seniors who have been involved in outstanding community service projects to apply for the award. The winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

“While our program is designed for graduate students, we feel it is very important to promote the spirit of public service among all ages,” said Clinton School Dean Skip Rutherford. “The Cayce Award is a great way to encourage aspiring public servants and recognize the outstanding efforts of Arkansas high school students. We look forward to reviewing this year’s applications.”

Arkie Newbies?  We're a fun, new group of people who are new to Arkansas (or who have not yet explored all it has to offer).
