Local children’s book author Hannah Alford stopped by to share her book, Hannah’s Hero, about her late father, an Arkansas State Trooper. She talked with our students about the process of publishing a children’s book, what inspired her to write it, and what being a hero means to both her and them.
After our visit from the firefighters on Wednesday, this was the perfect way to wrap up our week! Our students were reminded that heroes aren’t just found in books; they’re all around us in our own community.



We appreciate all of parents and supporters who are always willing to help us out.
