Yerger Clubs Spotlight: The Questing Guild. The Questing Guild, run by Mr. Molloy, is a club for students interested in the hobby of tabletop roleplaying games. Currently, the club is playing Tales of the Valient by Kobold Press. In the Questing Guild, players are tasked with solving problems and fighting monsters as part of the Questing Guild, a group of professional adventurers. This week, members of the Questing Guild were tasked with rescueing two kidnapped children from a band of goblins, by venturing into the ruins where the goblins have made their camp!

Colorful fundraising flyer for Hope High School TSA Pizza Fundraiser. At the top, bold text reads ‘Pizza Time’ with a pizza graphic and the word ‘Sale’ repeated in a circle. A yellow burst says: ‘One Topping 12" Bubba’s 33 Pizza for just $15 🎉.’ A blue burst says: ‘Campaign ends on November 1, 2025.’ Bubba’s 33 logo is shown with local store listed as Texarkana, TX. Text explains: pre-order online, customize your pizza at any Bubba’s 33, and enjoy. On the right, a thermometer graphic shows a fundraising goal of $8,000, with the purpose: to provide 8 students the opportunity to compete at the TSA National Conference in Washington, D.C., June 22–28, 2025.

🌟 Honoring One of Our Own! 🌟

We are proud to celebrate former State Senator Linda Pondexter Chesterfield, a Hope, Arkansas native, who has been announced as part of the 2025 Arkansas Black Hall of Fame induction class.

Senator Chesterfield’s legacy is one of firsts — she was the first African-American graduate of Hendrix College and went on to serve with distinction in both the Arkansas House and Senate. She has been a fierce advocate for policies that will impact our state for generations to come.

She called this honor “a singular moment” in her career, and we couldn’t agree more. Congratulations, Senator Chesterfield — your hometown of Hope is proud! 💙🐾
