Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
Rattler Family, today, from the elementary school front office to the playground, our school was a sea of orange as students and staff came together to show our love and support for first grader: Saylor Peugh. Saylor, a student in Mrs. Young’s class, is currently showing us all what true bravery looks like as she battles leukemia at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. While she couldn't be here in person today, we wanted to make sure she felt the support coming straight from her school family. We gathered for a group photo as a school, as did her class, to send a clear message: No one fights alone. To Saylor and the Peugh Family, every ribbon worn and every orange shirt represents a prayer, a positive thought, and a whole lot of love being sent your way. We are cheering for you, we are praying for you and we cannot wait to see that smile back in Mrs. Young's classroom. Stay strong, Saylor! Your school family is standing right behind you every step of the way. 💪🧡 #TogetherWeFightSaylorStrong #RattlerFamily #RattlerPride
