North Little Rock School District

This month's STAR recipient is Brian Kelton. He has been a tremendous asset at Boone Park Elementary! Staff at BPE said Kelton is amazing and they can always count on him. He will assist in any way to ensure teachers and students are uplifted and supported.

Mrs. Karla Whisnant, Principal at the North Little Rock Center of Excellence, accepted a plaque from Dr. Pilewski to commemorate the COE's growth in math on last year's ACT Aspire exam. The school was recognized for top growth among schools in the region. Congratulations!

Meadow Park third graders Kay'Cee McCleary and Nykeria Brown read an excerpt from Amanda Gordman's poem "The Hill We Climb," which Gordman recited at last year's presidential inauguration. The two students also explained the words and what it meant to them. Good job, ladies!
