Hope for the Future

Teachers from Yerger and BHE participated in an exciting summer professional development with Arkansas A+, where they explored how to integrate STEAM into their curriculum through music, art, movement, and more. This training, in partnership with our Magnet Program, sparked creativity and collaboration — and we can’t wait to see these engaging activities come to life in the classroom!

Thank you for your time, energy, and dedication — Mrs. Rowe
