Students in Fayetteville Public Schools Gifted and Talented program took a field trip to Washington Regional last week to explore neurology, the brain, and the nervous system. As part of their GT curriculum this year, they have been studying the parts of the brain, and this visit gave them the opportunity to see real-world connections to what they are learning in the classroom. 💜

📚❤️ Vandergriff Elementary hosted a Family Night and revealed a new Story Walk honoring former teacher and friend, Maureen Shireman. ❤️📚 Mrs. Shireman had a passion for reading and writing and worked tirelessly to instill a desire to learn in each student. Thanks to the efforts of her family, friends, and the amazing Vandergriff staff, this Story Walk will continue to share her love for learning with future generations. We were honored to have author Melissa Stewart join us for the dedication. Her book “Tree Hole Homes” is the first book installed on the Story Walk. The evening was made even more special with a family night featuring fun activities led by Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, U of A Entomology Department, the Amazeum, and Pearl's Books. 🦋🦌🔬 Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate this beautiful tribute to Mrs. Shireman. There is nothing more powerful than reading! 💜📖 #VandergriffElementary #StoryWalk #FamilyNight #LoveForReading #CommunityStrong
