🌱 We are thrilled to announce that Carolyn Lewis Elementary has been awarded the 2025 Harvest Community Partnership Garden of the Year! 🌱
This recognition means so much to our school, and we are incredibly proud of the hard work, care, and dedication that made our garden flourish this year.
We are especially thankful for our amazing partnership with Krista Quinn and the Faulkner County Extension Office, the wonderful Mr. Richard Clerk and the Master Gardeners, as well as Kelli Burke who continually support, guide, and encourage our students. Their expertise and willingness to invest in our school garden have helped create meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities for our kids.
A huge heartfelt thank-you goes to Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Parham—your passion, time, and sacrifice are the heartbeat of this project. Because of your leadership and commitment, our students not only learn about gardening, but also about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of watching something grow.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our garden. This award is a celebration of community, collaboration, and the belief that great things can grow when we work together. Thank you to Leslee Tell from the Arkansas Department of Agriculture coming to present this award to us!🌿💚

💙 To celebrate, we’re inviting our families to help us shower our amazing staff with appreciation this Thursday! A simple note, sweet treat, or kind word can go a long way in showing how much they’re valued.
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making CLE such a special place to learn and grow — we couldn’t do it without you! #WeAreCLE
🏆 Our students did it! Their hard work, dedication, and love for learning helped CLE achieve an “A” School rating! 🎉 We are bursting with pride for our amazing students and so thankful for our teachers, staff, and families who support them every step of the way. 💙 Congratulations CLE! #WeAreCLE
The CLE book fair will be open from Monday, November 17th until 12:30 on Friday, November 21st.
Students will be able to shop before school and during their library time. An adult may also come to school to shop with their child.
Items at the book fair are sold on a first come, first serve basis. If your child wants an item that is sold out I will try to get that item for them, but it is not guaranteed.
Thanks for supporting the book fair!
