SHS Pink Out

Smackover High School students enjoyed a “Pink Out Day” to observe the final day of Red Ribbon Week and to show their support for the Bucks!

True Colors

Students in Jade Center’s classes at Smackover High School are studying color schemes for houses and the color wheel. They used vanilla wafers and icing to create the primary colors and break them down into the secondary, and tertiary colors by mixing the primary colors to make secondary colors and finally tertiary!

An Apple A Day

Ms. Mary Ann’s class at Smackover-Norphlet Preschool practiced their fine motor skills to kick off their “All About Apples” week!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like…

Smackover High School juniors Abby Brewer, Evan Phillips, and Belis Oral, and senior Glenda Confortini are helping change bulbs for the El Dorado Christmas tree that towers above the KTVE Station.

Volunteer hours are still needed on Tuesday, Nov. 1 and Wednesday, Nov. 2! If you would like to help, come join us at the Union County Fairgrounds from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on those dates this week.

Drug-Free Super Powers

Smackover Elementary’s Thursday theme for Red Ribbon Week was “Be a Hero! Don’t Do Drugs!” Students dressed up as their favorite hero or Marvel character to promote the power of a drug-free lifestyle.
