Who takes care of the thousands of historic artifacts in the White House, cataloguing and preserving everything from presidential portraits to presidential china?  And how does that person balance the needs of a building that is both a museum and symbol of American democracy, as well as a family home?  Drew Central fourth grade students engaged in historically-based literacy lessons while learning the history of building the Present’s House or as it’s known today the White House.  (more…)

Each year Drew Central Elementary and the Middle School students help SEARK Reading Council collect money for the Heifer Project. Heifer International is an Arkansas foundation that provides animals for families in other countries.

They train the families to use the animals for the benefit of their families and communities. Each animal that is purchased helps the families have food and income to help provide for their needs. This year Drew Central students collected $2,278.27. Thank you for your generous support!

Anely and her GT Teacher, Morgan Temple

Anely Jean-Francois placed first in the Question of the Month presented by the GT Specialist, Stephanie Hollis, at the local Cooperative.  For January, students were asked to invent an indoor game to get kids moving for the recommended 60 minutes a day.  Anely came up with “Moving Chaos – An Active Board Game.”  Players must perform different tasks in order to escape certain doom!  Thank you to Ms. Stephanie Hollis for allowing our kids a chance to express their creativity through problem solving.  Anely won a $20 gift card for her hard work!  Congratulations, Anely!

Due to the large number of faculty and staff members, as well as students, that are isolated or quarantined at Drew Central High School, ALL high school students will pivot to virtual next week (Nov.30-Dec.4, 2020).

DCHS Teachers and staff who are not isolated or quarantined should report to the school for the work day. Mr. Pennington and I will be reviewing extracurricular events for the week to determine which ones we have personnel to supervise students but more importantly the safety and welfare of our Pirates.

If the elementary or middle school statuses change, you will be notified as soon as possible.
