Join us in the fight against breast cancer. Here are a few of our faculty and staff members who wore their RETRO Dig for the Cure shirts or pink today. Head over to the PSD Facebook page to see even more photos and to post your own!
Show your support - wear pink this week and come out to the 14th Annual Dig for the Cure this Thursday at Doc Paynter Court as your Lady Rams take on their crosstown rivals!
Flu vaccine clinics will be held the week of October 11th - 14th in the PSD. Forms went home TODAY with students and are due back by Monday, October 4th. There will be NO intranasal flu mist available. Please make sure to fill out both sides of the forms before returning them. Call your student's school office if you have questions or need additional information.
Dig for the Cure is THIS Thursday, September 30th. Starting today we will be posting some "Did You Know?" facts and stats about breast cancer AND our faculty and staff will be wearing RETRO Dig for the Cure shirts or pink this week to bring awareness to breast cancer. We'd love for you to join us in wearing pink too! Comment on one of our posts with your picture and a message of hope for this year's 3 honorees:

Julie Lamb Milligan
"The overall death rate from breast cancer decreased by 1% per year from 2013 to 2018. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances and earlier detection through screening." Did You Know the proceeds from Dig for the Cure go to 3 local entities? St. Bernard's Imaging Center, AMMC's Project Hope, and NEA Baptist Hospital's Hope Circle.

Congratulations to PHS teacher, Mrs. Stephanie Cooper, for receiving a scholarship from the Greene County Retired Teacher Association! This is the second year in a row she has won this scholarship! To say we are proud is an understatement!
Thank you to the Ram Academy staff and students for sorting and distributing Dig for the Cure t-shirts! This is one of the community service projects they complete each year.
Paragould High School students and parents, this info's for you! Picture day AND Senior Composites are Wednesday, September 29th. Please see the attached flyers for more information.
WOW! The Paragould School District received an Emergency Food Pantry Grant in the amount of $20,000 PLUS a $5,000 food credit at the NEA Food Bank! We have a new food pantry on the Junior High/High School campus that is bigger and better than years past and plans are in place to add an additional food pantry to the OGE/OGMS campus so we can serve even more families! We would like to shout THANK YOU to our PHS Community Service Learning class for unloading the food bank truck and organizing the food. What a task!
CONGRATULATIONS to Oak Grove Elementary! They received an early literacy grant for $4,000 from the Greene County Community Fund. Students will read a book each month with their teacher then take a copy with them to build their own home libraries. Way to go, OGE!

The Paragould School District senior high football game scheduled for Friday, September 3 at Rivercrest has been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. Currently 15 football players have been quarantined. While it is unfortunate to lose any game on our schedule, we will always put the safety of our student athletes first.
The game against Rivercrest cannot be rescheduled. According to AAA guidance, if a senior high non-conference football game is cancelled due to COVID-19, the game is considered a no contest. Our next game will be played on Friday, September 10 at home against Pocahontas.
Last week we began introducing our new staff/faculty members and highlighting those who changed positions within the Paragould School District. Tonight we would like to say welcome and congratulations to the following Rams:
Gary Jackson (Paragould High School)
Abby Taylor (Paragould Primary)

Wayne Conner (Oak Grove Elementary)
