🦃 The Thankful Turkey Fundraiser is here — with a tasty twist! 🦃
Help our bald turkey become beautiful and full by purchasing feathers for just $1 each! Every feather you buy raises money for the BPS Angel Tree Program, which supports local families with meal vouchers, hygiene products, and household essentials during the holiday season.
Here's the fun part: The homeroom in each grade with the most turkey feathers will win a pizza party! 🍕🎉
The fundraiser runs from Monday, Nov. 18th to Friday, Nov. 22nd. Let’s fill that turkey with feathers, spread some holiday cheer, and compete for a delicious prize!
🦃 Feathers for a cause, pizza for the win! 🦃

There is a potential issue with water service lines installed before 1989, which could impact our junior high A building and old senior high building. The district has been in contact with the Arkansas Health Department and we are having our lines tested. We will also be handing out water bottles in these two buildings until the test results are known. Thank you for your patience and support.
