Concord School District

Thank you, ASU–Beebe, for hosting our Concord High School sophomores today and giving them the chance to explore the many programs available to our students. From welding, nursing, marine technology, and construction to the wide range of concurrent college classes offered, we got to experience a little bit of everything. It was also great to see some familiar faces with strong ties to our community — Erica Killion, Sammie Hudspeth, and Ali West. One of our own students, Trenton Scroggins, even had the opportunity to showcase his welding work! It was a wonderful day full of learning and discovering new opportunities!

Mrs. Harlan’s and Mrs. Carrie’s class started a kindness rock project! The purpose of kindness rocks is to spread positivity and joy through small, unexpected acts of kindness by hiding decorated rocks in public places for others to find. We hope that this will be a simple way to brighten someone's day with an uplifting message or cute design. We want this to serve as a physical reminder that kindness exists!

These students and staff members have found rocks and dropped by for quick pics! They are able to hide the rock again for others to find, or if they really love the rock they have found, they are able to keep it! Several students have found more than one rock! We hope this simple act of kindness this brightens your day as well! ♥️

October was College Application Month at CHS. This is an annual initiative that happens each fall to help high school students with the college application process. Our students applied to our local community colleges and to many more. We can't wait to see what the future holds for them. 💜💛

The Lyon College LEAD Conference gave these students a powerful and refreshing look at leadership and what it truly means to lead with purpose! We are so proud of the way they represented Concord and embraced the challenge to grow, learn, and inspire others. 💜💛

Congratulations to our October Students of the Month! 💜💛

Community Support During Uncertain Times

We understand that the recent government shutdown may be creating challenges for some of our families. If your family is in need of extra assistance during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Johnson — we’re here to help.

Our school currently provides Friday food bags for elementary students, and high school students have access to a food pantry if needed. In addition, Family Worship Ministries in Concord offers a community food pantry on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 6:00 - 7:00 pm.

We’ve had many generous community members reach out asking how they can help, and we want to make sure that support reaches those who need it most. 💛 💜

If your family has a need — big or small — please reach out. You are not alone, and our school and community are here for you.

The 4th grade GT students truly enjoyed their lesson on stop motion photography this week from special guest Alex Cooper. They look forward to creating their own videos next week! Thank you, Alex for sharing.

Every now and then I get a chance to see some generational Pirates, and it makes my heart happy. 💜💛I will be collecting photos throughout this year. Please send me any family photos you have of generational Pirates in your purple and gold. How many generations can we get, 4?? 5??? I also wonder who the oldest Pirate is? Who is the oldest Pirate teacher? If you have any ideas, please add to the comments. Thanks for your help! Mrs. Cornett
