Students at Osceola Middle School had an amazing time at the Anti-Bullying assembly hosted by Healing In The Hood, a mentoring program from Blytheville, AR, founded by Sandy Gillespie.

The assembly provided a valuable experience, teaching students the importance of empathy, respect, and standing up against bullying.

North Elementary/ Important Notice: Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Cancellation

Dear Pre-K Families,

Due to an increase in cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, the upcoming Pre-K field trip to the pumpkin patch has been canceled. The health and safety of our students remain our top priority, and this decision was made to help prevent further spread of illness.

We understand that this may be disappointing for our students and families, and we appreciate your understanding and support as we take precautions to keep everyone healthy.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued commitment to the well-being of our school community. Another fieldtrip will be planned in the near future.

Pamela Smith, Principal
