Our local leads team has been getting out in our communities. We had a great time at the Stone County Health Fair passing out information about child development and kindergarten readiness. Today, we spent the day volunteering at Melbourne School’s Field Day. We are still taking responses to our Community and Family Early Childhood Education survey.

NAESC's local lead team is conducting an early childhood family and community survey. We believe lifelong learning begins before kindergarten that is why we are seeking ways to support the needs of north central Arkansas' youngest learners. This short survey is for all residents of Fulton, Izard, Sharp, and Stone counties. Please take it and share with your family and friends. https://forms.gle/QD9Yz1Yfayp1eMsQ7

Family and Community Survey
On Tuesday, April 1, 2025, NAESC hosted a STEM event for schools that are a part of our educational cooperative. Schools brought teams made up of no more than 4 students per team. Students had to work as a team and solve as many challenges as possible to earn points throughout the day. Challenges included problem solving, decoding and encoding, encryption, and even physical challenges. At the end of the day, the teams that earned the most points would capture the flag to win the event. This years top three teams included ICC High School-1st place, Timbo High School-2nd place, and Highland High School -3rd place.

Mandy Blevins, Systems Coordinator, visited Viola High School to support their work on assessment strategies. During her visit, students were engaged in group activities centered on guiding questions about photosynthesis. The focus was on incorporating a range of Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels to enhance the rigor and ensure comprehensive coverage of each standard.
