🧪 August 12, 2026 — Lab Safety Crime Scene! 🚨

Eight grade science students became lab safety detectives! 🕵️‍♂️ They examined a staged “crime scene” in the lab and had to identify all the safety rules that had been broken, leading to a dangerous lab environment.

The crime? Not taking lab safety seriously! 🚨🔬

A fun, hands-on way to reinforce an important lesson: Safety always comes first in the science lab! 🥽🧤

🧪 Day 2 in Science! 🥤

Mr. Barnett's Science class kicked off the year with a little Cup Stacking Challenge! Students worked in groups to stack cups using only rubber bands and strings.

It was a fun way to break the ice, see who works well together, and watch the teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills come out. 🙌

Only day 2, and they're already learning, laughing, and working together! 🔬🧠

Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise over every Paragould school, and with it comes the beginning of a brand new year full of possibility. Buses will be rolling through neighborhoods, cafeteria teams will be preparing meals, teachers will be standing at their doors, and classrooms will be ready to welcome students back home. Tomorrow isn’t just the first day of school, it’s the first page of a new chapter. It’s a chance to make a new friend, encourage someone who needs it, ask great questions, work hard, show kindness, and grow a little more than you did yesterday. To our students: We can’t wait to see your smiles. To our families: Thank you for trusting us with your greatest treasures. To our teachers and staff: Thank you for the countless hours you’ve poured into preparing for this moment. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom. This year, our theme is Leave a Legacy. Legacy isn’t built in a single moment, it’s created day by day through the choices we make, the kindness we show, the effort we give, and the lives we touch. Here’s to new beginnings, new memories, and a year that leaves a lasting impact. Let's do this, Rams. ❤️💙
