The students earned a spot at Nationals with the Lead Outside of the Box competition. They were given a challenge yesterday and had to come up with a plan of action and present it today. The challenge was to find ways to help kids reduce stress and anxiety. They came up with Calming Corners. It’s a room where students can be sent to calm down, chill out, relieve stress, etc. it would have 4 corners: blue corner-chill corner with bean bags, soft lighting stress balls, etc; green corner-healing corner for students with stress headaches and stomach aches...it will have aromatherapy diffusers, stress balls, cold compresses, etc; purple corner-shred your feelings corner where students who are frustrated or mad or upset can go and write their feelings down or draw a picture and then shred it so nobody sees it; yellow corner-meditation corner where they can practice meditation and deep breathing/cool down techniques. I thought this was an excellent idea and they did a fantastic job planning all the details! Only 4 students could present, but all six girls planned this out, so they all qualified!

Today the district learned of the possibility of a gun being left on school grounds. Upon investigation it was discovered that there was a rusted handgun located near the creek bed that runs through the middle of our campus. Law enforcement was immediately contacted and a current investigation is underway. At this point we are not aware that any actual threat was made to students or staff as a result of the gun being on campus. The safety of our students and staff is top priority.
Today is National Custodial Worker's Recognition Day. We are blessed with a great custodial crew in the Crossett School District! They go above and beyond to keep our campuses tidy and presentable. We want to thank them and let them know we appreciate their dedication to our district!
