IDA BURNS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

We want to say thank you to Secretary Oliva and his team for taking time to stop by Ida Burns today! It was a treat for them to see our Enrichment Day, and spend time in the Skydome and Human Body exhibits. We also want to thank Arkansas State Representative Stephen Meeks for spending his day in the Skydome with our students teaching them all about our solar system.

🎓💙 Honoring a Legacy of Service 💙🎓 Conway Public Schools celebrated our 2025 retirees yesterday with a special luncheon recognizing 25 incredible individuals who have dedicated their lives to education—some with over 36 years of service to CPSD! Superintendent Dr. Jeff Collum shared words of gratitude and encouragement, reminding retirees that they’ve “run the race well,” made a lasting difference, and have an exciting new chapter ahead. 👏 To those who attended—and those who couldn’t—thank you for your years of service. You will always be part of the Wampus Cat Family! 📸 Read more and see photos from the event here: https://www.conwayschools.org/article/2222682 #CPSDRetirees #WampusCatPride #ThankYouTeachers #ConwayPublicSchools
