The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission visited Asbell Elementary, bringing along a mobile aquarium filled with a variety of native fish species. Students were excited to learn about the diverse fish found in Arkansas's lakes and rivers and enjoyed observing them up close. Thank you to Fishing Education Specialist Mallory Woodward for sharing her exceptional knowledge and expertise during the visit.











Former FPS Superintendent Dr. John L Colbert has been sharing the joy of reading all week, bringing “Green Eggs and Ham” to life alongside FPS teacher Tamara Ridout at several of our elementary schools during Read Across America Week.
Today, our very own Superintendent Dr. John Mulford joined in on the performance! We love seeing our leaders inspire a love for books and learning! You can tell by the smiles on the students’ faces that they were having fun!
