Athletic Update: We have wrapped up another regular season on The Hill! Our teams finished up with an exciting night of basketball against the Rector Cougars on Tuesday. Post season play begins on Saturday for our junior high teams, and we are excited to be able to host the 2A-2 Jr. High Tournament! Our girls will play Saturday at 3:00, with the boys following at 4:00. We are also very thankful to have great community partnerships throughout the season. Simmons Bank came last week and were a great help in our concession stand, and also donated some items for an upcoming raffle. Tuesday night we were able to host the Executive Director of Camp Quality Arkansas, who spoke about their mission. We hope to see everyone on Saturday in support of our Bears and Lady Bears!

Congratulations to these 4-6 grade Students of the Month of January! Go Bears!

Congratulations to these K-3 Students of the Month of January! Go Bears!

For our February 4-H meeting, the Students decided they wanted to do something to help animals in shelters. We are partnering with Cherokee Village Animal Control to accomplish this goal. Our club will be collecting old bedding, t-shirts, towels, pet toys, cat food, dog food, and cat litter. Someone from the facility is going to come and speak to our members about what goes into the care of the animals. They will take our donations back to the shelter with them. Please have your 4-H Member be involved in gathering the repurposed items from your home and also if you purchase pet food or other items. We want them to connect that they are doing something that will help someone else. Thank you, Ms. Laura and Mrs. Ashley
