We will have a special "Open House" for our parents and patrons who might not have ever actually been inside the classroom building (the Pods) at Conway HS West. It will be on September 13 from 5:00 to 6:00. Everyone is invited to come and just walk through the Pods.
Many of our parents and community members have never been in the building. Once a person walks through the Pods, it will become very clear that this building has outlived its usefulness and should be replaced.
There will not be a formal program so folks can come and go as they like between 5:00 and 6:00 on the 13th.
Please also encourage as many people as you can to take advantage of early voting from September 14th through 20th. Early voting will be in the same location near the corner of Harkrider and Oak (at the old Sunshine Academy) as it has been for previous elections. Since September 21st is not only school board election day state-wide but also the Faulkner County Fair Parade day, many folks might prefer to vote early so that the activities of the 21st don't cause them to forget to vote in the school election.

 Classroom summer camp-spots were filled with tents, campfires, and rafts as Camp Learn-A-Lot opened at Sallie Cone Elementary on Monday, June 21st. Over 150 day-campers in grades K - 4 arrived by auto, by bus, and on foot to partake of the activities being offered at the summer learning camp. Campers will spend their days enhancing reading, writing, and math skills as well as participating in art, music, library, technology, and science activities. Breakfast is available, and all campers will be served a hearty lunch every day.
This is the second year for the elementary summer school program funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The program will be funded for one additional year.
There will be no summer camp on Monday, July 5th due to the holiday. The last day of Camp Learn-A-Lot for this summer will be Friday, July 16th.
