In Mrs. Chen’s Chinese classes, students celebrated Moon Festival 🌕 — one of the most important festivals in China and several other Asian countries. As part of the celebration, students learned about the festival’s history, traditions, and legend 📜, then enjoyed a hands-on experience making snow skin mooncakes 🥮!
Students in Chinese 3 and AP Chinese further practiced by retelling the process of mooncake making in Chinese, using newly learned vocabulary and grammar to strengthen their language skills.
Huge thanks to Velda Lueders Realtor Coldwell Banker RPM Group - Conway AR, for her generous donation that makes the enrichment activities of the Chinese program possible throughout the year!

🌎✈️ Hispanic Heritage Month in ELL World History
Ms. Dunn’s students went on a “trip around the world” without leaving the classroom! They picked up passports 🛂, ID badges 🏷️, and tour bags 🎒 before visiting stations to explore different countries, practice English 🗣️✍️, answer questions, and get their passports stamped ✅.
They also enjoyed authentic snacks 🍫🥖🍍 along the way! Tomorrow, they’ll wrap up their journey with a “shopping experience” 🛍️ using Monopoly money—sharing one thing they learned while picking out souvenirs.
A huge thank-you to Ms. Smith’s students for building the amazing displays that made this event so special! 💫

🌎✨ Last week, on October 3rd, our AP Spanish classes had the pleasure of welcoming three special guests — Mrs. Kaitlin Smith, Mrs. Lourdes Goodnight, and Mrs. Judith Mendez!
Mrs. Smith spoke about the value of being bilingual and how she wishes she could speak another language fluently. 💬 Mrs. Goodnight shared her experience growing up as a Puerto Rican student in New York, where speaking her native language was once prohibited — and how proud she is today to be bilingual. ❤️ Mrs. Mendez, a former teacher from Argentina, told students about her life in both Mexico and Argentina, her Mexican-Argentinian blended family, and the educational system in Argentina. 📚✈️
To wrap up the visit, students enjoyed a Q&A session and even got to try Argentinian candy 🍬— a sweet way to end such an inspiring cultural exchange! 💫

Our Conway Wampus cat wrestlers had a great time in Kansas City, Missouri at the national Fall Brawl tournament held at Staley High School. Great preseason competition before wrestling season starts in November.
Our Conway Invitational was a great day. Both Sr and Jr High boy teams along with the Jr High girls team earned top 5 finishes. Our own Beckett Paladino secured first place in the Jr High 2 mile course with a time of 10:20!
A HUGE congrats to the girls 1st singles, Martha Grace Winningham, and the boys 2nd doubles (Brody Howell and Connelly Bell) for advancing to the State Tournament on October 13th in Fayetteville! We couldn't be more proud of these athletes! The Conway Tennis team had a great season and can't wait to cheer these 3 on as they continue their journey! 🚾🎾

💀🎨✨ In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, four students from Señor Escalante's Spanish class visited Ms. Milner’s Drawing II class to present on the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos! 🪦🌺 Students learned about the holiday’s history, cultural meanings, and traditions—including its connection to popular culture, like Disney's Coco 🎬🎶.
Drawing II students took visual notes and practiced the grid transfer method by drawing calaveras, or sugar skulls. They’ve now begun creating altered self-portraits featuring traditional calavera designs and colors 🎨🖌️. A selection of these final portraits will be displayed for Día de los Muertos on November 2!
