Today we celebrated the students recognized at yesterday’s 3rd quarter awards! These students earned a special pizza celebration with the principal for excelling in spelling (K–2), science (3–6), music, or for demonstrating outstanding character in our core value focus this quarter—humility, courage, and integrity. Congratulations to all and thank you ALWAYS to Wynne Pizza Hut for hosting us so well each time!
What a good Friday it is when friends like these remind us how much we have to be grateful for!
Thank you to Cross Ridge Hospital for sponsoring TAD’s visit to organize an Easter egg hunt for our Pre-K through 2nd grade students. Our 6th graders also played a special role by helping assemble the hunt and standing by to support our younger T-Birds as needed. TAD promotes healthy lifestyles and drug-free communities, and we are grateful for their partnership and impact in Cross County!
March is National Athletic Training Month, and we are proud to recognize Coach Stephanie Blake for the incredible impact she makes on our student-athletes every single day.
From injury prevention to recovery, Coach Blake plays a vital role in keeping our athletes healthy, safe, and performing at their best. Whether it’s on the sidelines during a game or behind the scenes during practice, her dedication, knowledge, and care do not go unnoticed.
She builds trust with our students, supports them through challenges, and helps them get back to doing what they love. That kind of commitment makes a lasting difference.
Thank you, Coach Blake, for everything you do for Cross County. Your work truly helps us educate the whole child by supporting not just academics, but the health and well-being of our students.

Our athletic facilities don’t just happen. They are made possible by the generosity of our field sponsors who invest in our students and our programs year after year. Because of your support, our athletes have a place to compete, grow, and represent Cross County with pride.
Your commitment goes far beyond signage. You are helping create opportunities, build character, and support experiences our students will carry with them long after graduation.
We are grateful for each of you and the role you play in continuing to move our district forward.
Thank you for believing in our students and being part of what makes Cross County special.

Weekly character shout-out!
Today we want to highlight our RISE challenge recipients Lendyn Holman, Ryan Morris, Jessica Watts (not pictured: Isaiah Cash). These students were recognized for showing our core value of self discipline in the classroom. From going above and beyond on difficult assignments to removing themselves from a distracting situation, these students are living out what it means to control their actions, words, and emotions. Keep it up, T-Birds!
Today is the Primary Election, and when you step into the voting booth, you may notice a school millage rate listed on the ballot.
Arkansas law requires every school district to list its current millage rate on the ballot during the annual school election, even when no change is being requested.
Cross County School District is not asking for a millage increase.
This is not a new tax.
It does not raise your current rate.
The ballot simply reflects the district’s current millage, as required by Arkansas law.
We understand that ballot wording can sometimes raise questions, so we wanted to share this information clearly with our community.
If you would like additional details, our Administration Office would be happy to visit with you.
