East Pointe Elementary School

We had an amazing time celebrating Read Across America week! Our students enjoyed a week full of wonderful stories, exciting activities, and a special treat with several guest readers who shared their love of reading with our classes! 3rd & 4th graders enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss stories to our Kindergarten & 1st graders! Finally, we wrapped up the week with an exciting visit from Eastern Exotics from OK, who brought a variety of reptiles for students to see and learn about! It was the perfect way to end a fun-filled week! We hope our students continue to grow their love of reading every day!

We are so thankful for Mrs. Allisyn Stratton coming back to first grade to share a hands-on science experiment about how snowflakes are formed! The excitement in the room was priceless — our students loved every minute! ❄️✨

Our 3rd graders had a wild time learning all about animal adaptations and the amazing animals that call Arkansas home! A big thank-you to Roo Doo Zoo for visiting our school and bringing these incredible creatures up close for students to see and learn from. From camouflage to survival skills, students discovered how animals adapt to thrive in their natural habitats. Experiences like this make science come alive and spark curiosity about the world around us. We’re so grateful for this unforgettable presentation! 🌿✨

We were so honored to welcome our very own, Miss Arkansas, Kennedy Holland, to our school as she spoke with our students about our Word of the Month—Optimism! She shared an inspiring message about staying positive, believing in yourself, including everyone, and facing challenges with confidence. The students also loved hearing about her time as a former student at East Pointe Elementary! To make the visit even more special, she beautifully sang the National Anthem, leaving our students in awe and filling the room with pride. 🇺🇸
Thank you, Miss Arkansas, for encouraging our students to lead with optimism and for being such a wonderful role model! 💙✨
