Congratulations Willow!

We are one week away from "slam dunking" into the 23-24 basketball season!

Admission is $5.00 for students Kindergarten - 12th grade and adults. This is a fundraiser for the boys basketball team. We ask that everyone pays. You will be given a ticket so if you need to leave and come back, you will not need to pay again.

If you have reserved a blue seat and would like to have it marked for Saturday, please drop your payment off to Roger or send it by your student to me. Labels will be put on Friday.

We have several great door prizes to give away on Saturday. More info on those soon!

Tune in each week for a midweek recap from the Dragon Weekly and anything that has happened during the week at Mountainburg Schools.

Students in Mrs. Christian's Media and Communications class are leading this project from planning, videoing, and editing. You never know who you might see on the Midweek!

The assessment measures essential work skills needed for success in jobs across industries and occupations and represents work readiness through the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC).

The purpose of the NCRC is to provide students with a workplace certification that demonstrates their preparedness for the workforce, and measures their knowledge and skills in Applied Math, Graphic Literacy, and Workplace Documents. There are four certified NCRC levels: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

Arkansas Valley Electric and Wave Rural Connect #StudentAthleteOfTheWeek is Ryan Allen.

Ryan Allen is a sophomore quarterback and defensive end for the Mountainburg Dragon football team. Ryan has been playing with the senior high team since the end of his freshman year.

Ryan views his position as a quarterback as a leadership position both on and off the field.

“I’ve always tried to help my guys do what they do to do and keep them out of trouble during school. I’ll remind them that we have a game Friday night, so everyone needs to keep up the good work. I try to keep them up. It comes with the role of being a quarterback.”

Ryan feels great pride wearing the Dragon jersey.

“Putting on that practice jersey and the game time jersey are two different feelings that rush the adrenaline. I get to show the pride of my school alongside my friends. It’s something different about Friday nights when you’re under those lights. It just hits home.”

The Dragons play the Hector Wildcats this Friday night, followed by Westside next week.
