Dragon Weekly

For several years, the seniors have done a walk-through at Mountainburg Elementary. The MES teachers, staff, and students line the halls as they come through the building dressed in their cap and gown. On Thursday, May 12, the Class of 2022 paraded through MES one last time as students of Mountainburg Schools.

The event ends on the playground with the current seniors and current class of kindergarten

students.

Another tradition for the seniors is the Senior Lunch that is done by the Mountainburg Schools Food Gurus. This year's meal was grilled steak and potatoes. Thank you to Daniel Keeton with Farm Credit Services for coming up to grill the steaks.

This was enjoyed by the seniors and faculty on Tuesday, May 10.

Dragon Character Word of the Week:

Contentment means being happy and satisfied with what you have and with who you are, without always wanting something newer, or bigger or better

The Reimagine Arkansas Workforce Project can help you enter or thrive in the workplace by providing free, short-term, job training online. You choose the type of training you need from 15 career fields offered through the University of Arkansas. A grant from the U.S. Department of Education covers the training costs for those who qualify.
