Everyone is invited and we would love to have you.
A lunar eclipse will be visible for people in Arkansas and Oklahoma on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024.
The partial eclipse will coincide with a full moon and a supermoon, which occurs when the moon is closest to Earth.
Best Time To Watch
The eclipse will begin at 7:41 p.m. Central Time, but it will be difficult to notice until the Earth's shadow starts to cover the top edge of the moon at 9:13 p.m.
The eclipse will peak at 9:44 p.m.
There could be clouds in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, but conditions will likely be clear enough to see the eclipse.
The moon will finish exiting the full shadow at 10:16 p.m. and the partial shadow at 11:47 p.m.
What Is A Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. This means that relatively little of the sun's light makes it to the moon.
The sunlight that does make it to the lunar surface has passed through the Earth's atmosphere. This light is at a longer, redder wavelength, making the moon appear red.
"It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon," according to NASA.

SPIRIT WEEK for Hope Public Schools Homecoming is September 30 - October 4 with Homecoming taking place on Friday, October 4. We apologize for any confusion regarding spirit week activities. Thanks!
Beryl Henry Elementary is celebrating SPIRIT WEEK next week by dressing up! Here's each day's theme: Monday is Flip-Flop Day (Teachers dress as students/Students dress as teachers); Tuesday is Disney Day (Dress as your favorite Disney character); Wednesday is Color War (5th Grade RED, 6th Grade BLACK); Thursday is Throwback Thursday (Dress as your favorite decade - 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc); Friday is Red & White Day (Wear your Bobcats Red and White)!
As the home football season continues, we want to remind everyone about student expectations. We encourage our students to show school spirit and support our team, but it’s important that they adhere to home game expectations:
⚫️ Students are not to loiter behind the bleachers. Our students are expected to remain seated in the stands during the game, except when going to the restroom or visiting the concession stand.
🔴Students cannot sit on the top three rows of the stands unless sitting with a parent.
⚪️All after school activities are schools functions therefore our students are to follow handbook expectations. Any student that does not follow expectations may be asked to leave the game and will be addressed the following school day.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child to ensure a fun and safe environment for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Go Bobcats!!

During Mrs. Stevenson's Social Studies unit on archaeology at BHE, students engaged in a hands-on STEAM activity that brought the past to life. Acting as "archaeologists," the students participated in a simulated dig where they excavated buried artifacts.
Using a small shovel, a spoon, they carefully unearthed the hidden artifacts from rice-filled containers, replicating real archaeological digs. They discussed their findings and analyzed the artifacts.
This activity seamlessly integrated STEAM concepts like precision, scientific observation, and problem-solving. By digging for artifacts, students gained a deeper understanding of how archaeologists work and the importance of artifacts in uncovering the stories of the past.

In Ms. Anna's Business class at Beryl Henry Elementary, we have been working on the importance of introductions and how you only get one first impression with someone. Each student created a business card for themselves and Mr. Jones. The students applied what they learned by introducing themselves to individuals on our campus. If you see them around, test out their knowledge on a professional introduction by introducing yourself to them!
Magnet Coordinators and EAST Facilitators had an amazing day of Glowforge training with our dedicated teachers. A huge thank you to Jason Blake for his expertise and support in helping us master this fantastic tool. We’re excited to bring our new skills into the classroom and inspire creativity among our students!
