Happy National School Librarian Day to our fantastic team!
Bomber Families,
After talking with the National Weather Service a few moments ago, our forecast is increasing in severity. I am concerned about the dangerous weather conditions as well as potential flooding if we wait to dismiss at our regularly-scheduled time. With that in mind, Mountain Home Public Schools will release at 12:45 today. I encourage you all to use a high level of caution for the remainder of the afternoon and evening, as conditions look to be severe. Note: Flight Crew will be cancelled as well.
Thank you,
Allyson Dewey
Superintendent
Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!
We could not have school without our paraprofessionals! They are the very best and are a critical piece of daily school life. They assist in providing meaningful interventions, teach essential skills, support academic learning, provide safe environments by supervising students, and so much more! We always hope they feel valued and appreciated! We asked some staff members to describe our paraprofessionals, and here are some of the responses we received: positive, magnetic, support development of essential skills, natural leaders, love a challenge, empathetic, tender-hearted, help to close achievement gaps, compassionate, smart, loyal, faithful, patient, gentle, gracious, ray of sunshine, encourage risk taking in learning.
The work of the professional is ongoing, and we couldn’t do it without them! Thank you!
Mountain Home Parks & Rec has some fantastic opportunities coming up!
Our Outdoor Learning courses received a generous donation of $12,700 from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission on Saturday night at the organization's Night of Conservation in Mountain Home. Thank you so much to the Commission for your continued support of our programming and our kids!

Reminder for Families: On March 20, our Board of Education approved a calendar amendment that made May 23 a full day of school. This adjustment was made to add back a few hours to our calendar due to an early dismissal in January. Here's a link to the updated calendar showing May 23 as a full school day!

Mountain Home Junior High staff collaborated to create a cross-curricular unit based on the novel “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Students acted out one of the scenes in the book: whitewashing a fence the way Tom did. Science classes made posters about the medicinal remedies that would have been used in that time period. Art students created grave stones as a way to bring the book’s graveyard scene to life. Business classes calculated how much the boo’s “treasure” would have been worth today. Arkansas History classes researched the area where the book was based, and American History students created poster displays as a final project. The unit was topped off with a trip to Blanchard Springs Caverns, which gave the students an experience similar to the cave scene in the book. We are so proud of the hard work of both students and staff on this project!
Hey Senior Parents! We are pleased to announce the date for the 2025 College and Military Signing Day for our seniors - Wednesday, April 30 at 9:30 a.m. in the main gym at Mountain Home High School. This event is open to all seniors who are planning to attend a college or tech/trade school after graduation, or are enlisting in the military. Please note the April 14th deadline to sign up. There will be no exceptions to this due date. The sign-up form is already posted on Canvas Class of 2025, and if your senior includes a digital image of their college acceptance letter or email, they will earn 3 raffle tickets for the $250 grand prize shopping spree that we will be giving away on College Signing Day. We hope to see you there!
February's FSB leadership award winner was James Breedlove. Here is why he was selected as the winner for the month:
"James is always smiling and has a positive attitude when he comes to class. It doesn't matter how much work we have to do or how hard it is, he is always ready to work. James finishes his work, asks what else he can do when he is done and often spends his extra class time helping others around him that do not understand. James is an amazing young man and deserves this award."
Congratulations to James and big thanks to First Security Bank for this kind gesture each month!
