Farmington Public Schools welcomes Nolan Helder! He will be teaching physical education at Folsom Elementary! #Cardstudentsareworthit
Blueberry, Apple, Remy, and Shadow have been impressed by the reading happening on Beanstack! We have 21 students and 2 teachers (Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Dowdle) that are active. Those 23 people have read 8,028 minutes of the 10,000 minute summer goal. Some have completed their Bingo Card, but keep recording to earn additional badges. You also still have time to beat Mrs. Dowdle's minutes (last week she hardly read while she was in Scotland...too tired at night). Right now Mrs. Dowdle has 1,065 minutes. Happy Reading!! #cardstudentsareworthit #ESED #bfereads

The "i love u guys" Foundation hosted a training on crisis management and reunification today at Farmington High School. Emergency responders and school staff from numerous agencies and districts in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee attended. The training was held in partnership with the Washington County Department of Emergency Management and sponsored by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT). Farmington staff received valuable information that will help keep our students safe.
Our summer challenge and Beanstack are going strong. We have about 21 readers so far and some have already finished the Bingo board, but keep reading to earn those streak badges and to read more than Mrs. Dowdle. She has read 885 minutes so far! If you need your clever card please email jdowdle@farmcards.org she will be able to send them out until the morning of the 22nd and then during the first week of July. Mrs. Dowdle just returned from a great library conference where she learned about some great new books (pictured) and ideas for the upcoming year. Also pictured is her with an Arkansas young adult author, Ayana Gray and the current book she is reading. The neat thing about the book she is reading is it is about the Native Americans that live in the area she grew up and is written by a friend her mother went to school with! Add a picture of you and your current book in the comments. PS: classroom teachers you can also log in using clever to participate in the summer challenge! Happy Reading! #cardstudentsareworthit #esed #bfereads

Thank you to Centennial Bank and U of A students for sponsoring this wonderful project. Several 3rd graders had the opportunity to write and publish their very own books during CARDS Time. They all worked so hard and were so proud of their work.

A huge shout out to Blooming Gayle's for being a sponsor of our Read-a-thon!
#cardstudentsaresorthit #esed
The reading portion of our Read-a-thon has ended, but now for the fun part...spending RAT bucks. If you have not already done so please log into your child's account and spend any RAT bucks they have earned (I would love for this to be done by the end of the weekend so I can completely close it out). I am working on a special post to announce top readers and earners for next week once everything is closed. Just a small hint...we have never read nor raised so much that I am already planning some great things for next year as well as a summer challenge that all current K-3 students will benefit from. Thank you! Mrs. Dowdle

Sadly this is the last day for our Read-a-thon. Please be sure to record any last minute reading times by 7 pm tonight (Monday the 29th). I will announce total minutes read tomorrow when I have an accurate count, just know that we are over 60,000 minutes already (record #2 this year)! Once I have closed the Read-a-thon students are welcome to spend their earned money in the RAT store. They have a few days to do this. If you find that your child has spent what they want and have extra or in the rare case don't want anything, please let me know and I will use it for library prizes. If you have any questions please reach out to me at jdowdle@farmcards.org or call the school. Thank you all for your amazing support of this event. Final totals coming soon!!

Again I must say our families are amazing. I had 3 goals for this Read-a-thon. Goal 1: have over 50,000 minutes of reading….we just hit 50,342 as of this evening! Goal 2: Raise more than what we have in the past (over $9000 for the library)…we have surpassed that goal by $2,500!! I can’t even begin to thank you for this. (Hint…we will be getting a fun summer reading program because of this). Goal 3: have at least 300 active accounts…we are currently at 236. It is not too late to activate your child’s account, it is free to do the reading portion. https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323739373530
Thank you and Happy Reading!
