Dress Code Reminder
As we settle into the school year, we’d like to send a friendly reminder about a few parts of our dress code that have come up recently.
Please note that skinny pants, linen pants, jogging pants, sweat pants, yoga pants, denim, knit fabric pants, and athletic or running shorts are not permitted as part of the regular school uniform.
Yoga or workout pants (navy or black) may only be worn under the athletic/PE uniform.
For formal school events, students should wear dress shoes rather than casual or athletic footwear.
We also want to kindly remind families that teachers and staff have the discretion to determine whether a student’s attire meets dress code expectations. These decisions are always made with considerations and in good faith. We truly appreciate your partnership and support in helping us uphold our culture. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Weekly Assembly
Every Monday at 2:15 pm, we will have our school-wide weekly worship and assembly. Parents are always welcome to attend!
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST WEEK:
Navy/White Night | October 16th, 2025
What an incredible night of basketball, school spirit, and community! This year’s Navy/White Night kicked off with high energy as the Lady Warriors teams competed against each other, followed by the Warrior teams taking the court for their own matchup. The gym buzzed with excitement as classmates cheered each other on, showing off their hard work, teamwork, and Warrior pride.
Next up, the competition heated up with the Lady Warriors facing the Lady Legends, followed by the Warriors taking on the Legends. Both Legends teams continued their undefeated streaks, pulling off impressive wins — but everyone agreed that the real victory was the fun, fellowship, and sportsmanship shared by all!
It was a night filled with laughter, friendly rivalry, and the unmistakable pride of being part of the Warrior family. Events like this remind us that it’s not just about the scoreboard, but about the joy of coming together as one community.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” — Colossians 3:23
Zoology Class Explores the Wild Side with Arkansas Game & Fish!
The Zoology class had an exciting and educational visit from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission this week! Representatives shared their knowledge about local wildlife, conservation efforts, and the importance of maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Students got an up-close look at some fascinating specimens and learned more about the animals that call Arkansas home.
To wrap up the visit, students rolled up their sleeves and dissected owl pellets — uncovering tiny bones and other remains to learn more about the eating habits and habitats of these amazing birds of prey. It was a hands-on experience that brought science to life and gave everyone a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature.
Caught in the Act... Of Kindness!
Kindness is contagious—and we’ve got the proof! Check out who’s been ‘caught in the act of kindness’ this week, spreading good vibes all around our school!
Legacy Littles from Bright Beginnings!
Our Legacy Littles from Bright Beginnings are a joyful reminder of God’s faithfulness and the bright future He has planned for our school community. Each child reflects the wonder of His creation and the promise of what is yet to come. We are grateful to walk alongside them as they begin their journey of learning, growing, and living out God’s purpose.
As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
