Happy Thursday!

Thursday Thriller Book Club met today (I know it's not Thursday) : ) Schedules at school get a little crazy this time of year! We all had a great time, and I was SO proud of all the discussion from our students. This is such a fun series and I for one am so excited to see my kids enjoying it! I especially want to thank Mrs. Carlee (Garrett) Kirkpatrick for purchasing the novels for each student and snacks for our meeting this nine weeks!






🌿✨ Celebrating Conservation at Kirby School! ✨🌿
Our students have been busy charting their School of Conservation events, and the results are inspiring! 🦉🐢🌳
They’ve discovered so much about our natural state wildlife and the diverse habitats that make Arkansas so special. From tracking local species to learning how ecosystems thrive, their curiosity and dedication shine through every project.

🌿🐾 Conservation Leadership Spotlight
Yesterday, Kirby Elementary students had the opportunity to learn from Cossatot River State Park educators, who visited campus to share hands‑on lessons in animal identification and water quality testing.
🐾 Students explored Arkansas wildlife by examining animal furs, learning how to recognize species and understand their role in local ecosystems.
💧 They tested water samples to see how quality impacts both animals and people.
🌱 The program encouraged leadership in conservation, showing students how small actions make a big difference in protecting natural resources.
We are grateful to Cossatot River State Park for inspiring our students to be future conservation leaders and for connecting classroom learning with real‑world stewardship.
