Mrs. Sanders grouped her students in class to create edible color wheels last week! What fun things will she think of next? #thunderbirds

Over the course of the week, Cross County High gave away tickets to the Cherry Fest carnival for students demonstrating excellence. We hope each student enjoyed the carnival!

Ms. Armstrong's 7th grade science classes have been working hard studying atoms and the periodic table. They created their own version of the periodic table made up of brochures about their elements.

12 students put aside their Arkansas allegiance for one weekend to visit Mississippi State, explore Starkville, and attend the MSU vs. K State football game with our C^3 Program! They had a blast! Can you guess what college we're taking students to next? #C3 #collegebound

Thank you grandparents for joining us for breakfast last week! We had a wonderful turnout! We are so appreciative for all that you do for our students and our school!

Mrs. Ashlee's class is working hard to remember and apply the floss rule, so Mrs. Ashlee broke out the floss dance with an academic connection to the floss rule as a multi-sensory activity.

Picture Day is just around the corner! High School: September 16, 2019 Elementary School: September 20, 2019

Look who came to visit today! Cade Morris just graduated from basic training as a member of the United States Marine Corp. We are so proud of him and excited to know he will be serving our country as a proud Marine. Please help us congratulate him on this amazing accomplishment!#proudthunderbirds #marines

Studying for a science test is fun when you get to use the Kagan Structure Quiz-Quiz-Trade! Students not only practice the academic content through this structure, but learn to provide feedback and praise to their peers. Great job fourth grade teachers and students!

Not only does Cross County High School focus on content-specific instruction, but we also focus on developing important skills our students can apply in real life. Communication skills are necessary in almost every aspect of life from the classroom to the workplace and in general interactions with others. Mrs. Lacy uses her classes to help our students become better speakers and communicators.

Parents and guardians: Please join us for parent-teacher conferences. Cross County High School will host conferences Tuesday, September 10th from 2:30-7:00 and Cross County Elementary School will hold conferences Thursday, September 12th from 2:30-7:00. School will dismiss at 2:00 pm both days. We look forward to seeing everyone then.

Third grade was rolling up their sleeves and working super hard today to grow as readers! Keep it up third grade!
