Here's the right one!!! If you can't tell, Mrs. Angie is ready for Spring Break. :)

WELCOME BACK!!! We hope you had an amazing Spring Break!

ATTENTION PARENTS OF ACES STUDENTS!! I want to take a moment to thank each of you for allowing us the opportunity to hang out with your kids on Mondays and work with them on more than just schoolwork. This year, we have been putting more focus on taking responsibility, teamwork, and social skills, as well as academics. We have a lot of fun! The students don't always realize they are learning something, which makes for an even better day!

If you will, please click the link below and take the quick survey for me. It won't take long.

Be on the lookout for information about potential parental involvement opportunities with the ACES program as we slowly incorporate more into our program. Also, if there are parents and/or students out there who are interested in participating in the ACES program, please feel free to reach out to me at 501-518-2223 or email angie..williams@shirley.k12.ar.us.

Thanks again,
Mrs. Angie Williams
21st CCLC Program Director

The Juniors got the opportunity to attend an ACT Bootcamp on campus yesterday. They learned strategies and techniques to help them on the test. A big thank you to ASTA for presenting to our students and for the donation prize. We appreciate your time and expertise guiding student success at Shirley High School.

Thank you, Ms. Tonya, for setting up this magic show with the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas! The kids LOVED it!!

Week 27 is here!

The 11th and 12th grade got the opportunity to tour both campuses at Northark. These students learned information about several programs that this college offers. The programs include: Automotive Technology, Construction Technology, Welding, HVAC, Collision Repair, Outdoor Power Equipment, Nursing, Radiology Technology, Surgical Technology, Phlebotomy and EMT. During the visit, students also participated in a few Work Based Learning experiences through the availability of lab mannequins in the nursing department as well as the EMT department.

It's always a good day when you get to use your imagination in the gym, learn using a giant touchscreen, and make ooblek!

The 6th grade students have been working on our Asia unit in Social Studies, focusing on the Han Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Great Wall of China, geography of early China, trade routes, farming, culture, inventions, art and literature and much more. The students ended the unit with an Asian inspired banquet, trying ( some for the first time) Tofu, vegetable fried rice, chicken egg rolls, chicken and white rice, ramen noodle soup, and teaching each other how to use chop sticks🥢👍. Students had a great time and learned a lot.

Hard to believe it is already March! That means it is time for National School Breakfast Week. The theme this year is " The Quest for School Breakfast." This campaign aims to highlight how a nutritious breakfast boosts student energy, focus, and academic performance. Be sure to encourage your students to come by the cafeteria for a great breakfast every day this week!

Here is your Week 25 menu. I see a lot of yummy goodness on there!!!

Sr. High Softball (9-12 grade), Baseball (9-12 grade), and Track (10-12 grade) will be taking sports pictures on Tuesday, February 24. The form below shows package prices. Physical copies of the form are also available in the High School Office.

February is flying by! Let's see if we can make it great with a few new entrees!

Donuts with Dad part 3

Donuts with Dad, part two!

Thank you to all the dads and other family members who came to spend a part of their morning with us! We had an amazing turn out! More pictures to come!

I want to brag on Ashlee Dollar. She has worked really hard and improved her grades and IXL scores. If the 9 weeks were up today, she would be on the A/B honor roll, only 1 class away from All A's!!! Great job Ashlee! I am so proud of you. Ashlee got to pick a book from our book machine.

It was great getting back on track with ACES today! Our kiddos had a big day filled with some Valentine's Day decorations, a bit of a workout, and lots of fun times outside on this B-E-A-Utiful day!

Don't forget Parent-Teacher conferences on Monday and Donuts with Dad on Thursday!!
