High Five for Mrs. Raven Slane! Mrs. Slane was awarded the High Five Award by Mrs. Brandi Hardcastle. Here is what Mrs. Hardcastle has to say about Mrs. Slane: "I am passing the High Five award to Raven. Raven has such a positive attitude. She is always working so hard to make sure her students are all learning. She collaborates with other teachers to implement new ideas. Raven takes the time to build positive relationships with her students. She will step in and help others whenever there is a need. Although Raven has only been teaching two years, she demonstrates the knowledge of a seasoned teacher. She is kind, loving, and funny. You can't help but be happy when you are around her." Congratulations Mrs. Slane!

Harmony McKinney and Dimitria Purcell we’re nominated by WCC High School to attend the Arkansas Governor’s school. Now they need to apply and get accepted. Good luck and congratulations!!
The Arkansas Governor’s School is a four-week summer residential program for upcoming high school seniors who are residents of the state of Arkansas. The program is funded by the Arkansas State Legislature as a portion of the biennial appropriation for Gifted and Talented Programs through the State Department of Education. State funds provide tuition, room, board, and instructional materials for each student who attends the four-week program on the site of a residential college campus, sponsored by the State. The Arkansas Governor’s School is a non-credit program that seeks to create a unique experience for a select group of Arkansas’ best students—the potential leaders of the 21st century. Both inside and outside the classrooms, AGS provides highly motivated, creative students with an intellectual atmosphere impossible to sustain in ordinary academic settings. The excitement of intellectual and artistic pursuits and the expectation of significant conceptual gains permeate all aspects of the participants’ lives for the full four weeks.
