MATH CAN BE FUN!! Mrs. Duncan's technical math class has been learning about measurements, angles, and the law of reflection. They put their knowledge to use by creating a putt putt course and then going outside and testing out the course. Prior to playing the course, they calculated what it would take to make a hole in one on each hole, and then they got to test their calculations in real life.

Great day for Bearcat trap shooters this weekend! -Sam Walton won his division in singles with a 96/100 -Caleb Mallard and Tyler Hammett shot their first perfect 25/25s! - Bryant Malone shot his first 25/25 in practice yesterday.

Friday we competed at JHS for SO Track and Field. We took about 20 volunteers with us, along with 14 athletes from JH/HS. All of our students represented Brookland extremely well! If you see any of these students, please tell them what a great job they did! Each athlete received two medals. I cannot say enough good about the students we took as volunteers. They are interactive with our athletes, they are diligent about athlete safety, and they take pictures like a proud big brother or sister. It is truly heart-warming to know we have such an amazing group of students who want to include everyone, no matter what! Track and field is a bit chaotic and these students handled everything so gracefully and with a smile on their faces! There is no way I could make these trips happen without the help from others! Thank you all for being so supportive and thank you to Mrs. Paslay for working so hard to put on the pep rally the day before this event. I truly believe that is what gets these kids pumped up for competition day. Mrs. Harris Jasmine Davis- gold and bronze Jayshawn Childers- gold and gold Chase Liles- gold and gold Noah Warren- gold and silver Carol Orr- gold and gold Madison Allen- silver and gold Jon Weston Folsom- silver and bronze Brady Combs- gold and gold Josh Hubbs- silver and silver Mirabella Rogers- gold and gold Preston Turney- gold and silver Aubree Loggins- gold and silver Dallas Brown- bronze and bronze Darren Morris- gold and gold

It is with great pleasure to announce that Landon Epps has made Brookland School History! He is our very first student at Brookland to be awarded through the State of Arkansas, the Seal of Biliteracy, in English and American Sign Language! Not only that, he is one of the very first to be awarded throughout the entire state of Arkansas! This Seal of Biliteracy recognizes that students are able to read, write, as well as converse as a bilingual person at a proficient to advanced level in two or more languages. This May, we will be awarding a total of three students for being recipients of this prestigious award this 2023-2024 school year! Jasmin Reyes and Ana Sauceda have also received this great honor of the AR Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish and English in November of 2023! Congratulations for this excellent achievement! Here's the Kait8 news interview with Landon https://www.kait8.com/2024/04/26/brookland-student-signs-his-way-history/

Last night at Harmony Gardens, OCS, a National Organization hosted an event in Jonesboro that recognized people who have chosen the Military as their Career after High School. If you were someone you were there, the Mayor, every general in the State, and every person from across Northeast Arkansas that have decided to make the Military a part of their life after High School. It was their way of saying thank you. We had 5 individuals that have made the decision 1. Alix Wilkey- US Army National Guard (Supply Specialist) 2. Manning Mcafee- US Navy Seals (Seal Team) 3. Kyle Reed- US Army National Guard (Combat Engineer) 4. Will Hatfield- US Army (3 year scholarship to Arkansas State University) 5. Katie Thomas- US Navy (4 year scholarship to the Citadel) Less than 1 percent of our population decide to serve in the Military. These 5 individuals have made that decision. Bearcat Proud!
