FPS middle school GT students recently hosted “Stars, Stripes, and Student Spirit”, a celebration of America’s 250th birthday, student voice, and American identity.

The large scale American flag installation, made of 250 individual pieces, toured all three FPS middle schools in one day and was presented to each student body. Each piece reflected student perspectives and created a powerful expression of what the American experience means to them.

Mayor Molly Rawn introduced the art reveal at John L Colbert Middle School, and students heard from guest speaker Tanya Mims, Arkansas 250 Commissioner. Students also participated in interactive experiences with the Arkansas Department of Education and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art Mobile Art Lab.

It was a meaningful day of creativity, reflection, and student engagement across FPS.

Fifth grade students from McNair and Holt Middle Schools recently explored our local watershed during a field experience at the Illinois River Watershed Partnership in Cave Springs.

With guidance from educators at IRWP and Beaver Water District, students hiked to a cave that is home to endangered and threatened species, used an enviroscape model to see how runoff impacts our environment, and took part in a hands on water relay to learn about the water treatment process.

Experiences like this help students build a deeper understanding of environmental science while inspiring them to care for and protect our natural resources. 💜

Gifted Education students at McNair Middle School investigated amphibian physiology through the dissection of frogs in Ms. Huneycutt’s and Ms. Keen’s classes. By utilizing technical instructions, students successfully identified various organs and analyzed their biological roles.

Students then synthesized their findings by comparing frog and human anatomy, ultimately applying their knowledge through a creative writing exercise.
