Acorns 4th Grade Harvest Festival Bake sale fundraiser!! Wednesday October 9th 530-8pm at James Super Save Foods
Students at Kathy Medford Preschool are exploring the roles of community helpers this month. They visited the Acorn Elementary library and met Mrs. Posey, who read books and discussed how she supports the community as a librarian.
Community Helpers Month provides an opportunity to appreciate and learn about the individuals who contribute to the safety, well-being, and education of our communities. This month-long focus allows young learners to develop a deeper understanding and respect for the diverse range of professions that support the needs of the local community.

ORSD Upperclassmen Tour UCA Campus
On Thursday, September 26th, a group of Acorn High School and Oden High School juniors and seniors toured the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway. The tour began with a presentation and overview of UCA admissions, academic programs, scholarships and deadlines, student and campus life organizations, housing and dining options for students.
Following the presentation, UCA Student Ambassadors provided a guided tour of the campus to view dining, housing, student union, exercise facilities, and various colleges and schools within UCA as well as many other landmarks on campus.
It was a great tour and opportunity to visit with Acorn High School Alumni - Lulu Quebedeaux, UCA Ambassador who helped facilitate the campus tour and to say hello to Jake Lyle.
Thank you to the University of Central Arkansas student ambassadors and admissions staff for a great tour and presentation!
