“Talent matters, but effort turns talent into achievement.” — Angela Duckworth

The Conway County Extension Office presented an informative program on agriculture in Arkansas to Mrs. Williams' class and Mrs. Johnson's Library students. Alicia Hugen & Shannon Autrey brought Arkansas-grown rice, soybeans, and cotton for the students to explore. Students learned that Arkansas is the number one rice producer in the Nation. The class learned specifically about all the agricultural production and opportunities in Conway County. #LoveServeCare❤️

🧪🔬 Medical Detectives in Action! 🔬🧫 Ms. Ferguson’s Medical Detectives students became scientists today as they conducted an experiment to demonstrate the differences between bacteria, fungus, & viruses. The results from today’s experiment will be analyzed by students next week as they continue to investigate their findings & draw conclusions from the evidence. 🧪🦠 What a great day of hands-on learning, scientific investigation, & discovery in Medical Detectives! 🔍👏

Mrs. Grinder’s 7th grade math students wrapped up their unit on proportional relationships with a BIG challenge! 🦈 Students compared great white shark teeth with discovered megalodon teeth, then used proportions to estimate how long and how heavy a megalodon may have been. After doing the math, they measured out their estimated lengths to see just how massive these prehistoric sharks were. Bringing math to life at MJHS! #LoveServeCare4others

SCCSD Families, Due to the ongoing power outage, all K–12 students in the South Conway County School District will dismiss today at 1:25 p.m. Pre-K students will dismiss at 1:55 p.m. Morrilton High School, Morrilton Junior High School, and Morrilton Intermediate School are currently without power and phone service. Based on the information we have received, power is not expected to be restored until after 3:30 p.m.

MJHS and MHS Families, We want to make you aware of a transformer issue that supplies power to Morrilton Junior High School and Morrilton High School. Entergy will need to make a repair, and we anticipate that power to both campuses may be temporarily interrupted. Our plan at this time is to make sure students are served lunch and then continue classes as normally as possible. With the cooler temperatures today, we believe we can continue instruction while closely monitoring conditions in both buildings. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our priority. We are staying in communication with Entergy and will provide additional information as soon as we know more. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Phones are currently down at Morrilton Junior High. ☔️
