Congratulations to the 2023 Homecoming Court!
Check out this big news from Little Rock~ Arkansas Peace Week recently hosted a Youth Art Contest. The contest was open to students in 1st - 12th grade and addressed the theme:
“What does peace mean to you? Depict a more peaceful community in your art entry.”
They received over 2,000 art entries from all over the state. Award winners were announced at an event at the Arkansas State Capitol Rotunda on September 23rd and we are pleased to announce that our very own 7th grade Ram, Ada Chen, brought home FIRST PLACE! Congratulations Ada! Your Ram Family is proud of you!
The Smoking Skulls Motorcycle Club recently donated $2,000.00 to the Paragould School District. We appreciate your support!

Tonight is "Blue Out" Ram Stadium for our game against Piggott! Coach Phillips is starting a new tradition called the "Ram Walk" Join us as our football players walk from the Field House to the South end of the football field where they will enter the run through tunnel. Fans can line the area along the Ram Walk (see photo) to cheer on the Rams. We invite students in Kindergarten through 12th grade to join us on the field for the Run Through. Students will enter the field through the small gate at the 50 yard line after the Ram Walk (see photo). See you tonight, Ram fans!
This year's theme is "It Takes a Village". Today we are opening up the sale of theme shirts to all in our Ram village and that means YOU! Support the Rams and buy one before the shop closes on 8/21/23.

The staff and students of the Paragould School District volunteered at the United Way's Stuff the Bus event today. We'd like to say thank you to the patrons of Paragould who generously gave to our students.
Did someone say COMMUNITY PEP RALLY? Oh yea, that was us! Join us for this first ever event at Ram Stadium on Friday, August 18th. The event is open to all Ram fans.

The fun begins at 5:30 and ends at 9:00pm. See you there, Ram fans!

Great news regarding parent-teacher communication coming from our PK-6 buildings! You've used the Paragould School District app to stay up-to-date on district and school news, events, and dining but now there's MORE! PSD will use Rooms, a parent-teacher chat, that is fully integrated into our app so you can see class specific announcements and to send/receive direct messages to your child's teacher. Download the PSD app today and be on the lookout for an email from EduRooms to get started.
Your Paragould Rams will be at Walmart on West Kingshighway in Paragould on August 5th collecting items to STUFF THE BUS! All donated items stay right here in Greene County schools.
