Because of a grant provided by the American Heart Association and rb, Lee Elementary has 3 new water bottle filling stations! We had a ribbon cutting for these yesterday. This is an initiative of Healthy, Active Arkansas and Beaver Water District. So many partners came together to make this happen! Every Lee student will also receive a free water bottle!

Due to a message received by the FBI concerning a potential threat to a school in Arkansas, the Springdale School District has been in direct communication with Springdale Police Department Leadership. The Springdale Police Department and the district will have increased police presence this week even though the threat is not believed to be credible. Precautions are being taken to address safety concerns. The district wants to assure all parents that the safety of their children is always our number one concern.
