🚸💛 If you see our Superintendent, Mrs. Janet Blair, out by the crosswalk next to the field house, be sure to give her a smile and a wave!

Every morning, she’s out there helping traffic run smoothly and making sure our students get across safely to start their day. And of course, wishing every student that passes by her a wonderful day! Mama Leopard truly takes care of everyone! 🐆✨

Happy Friday, Leopards! 🧡🖤

🕊️ Our MMS Students Celebrated Arkansas Peace Week!

Our 7th grade GT students spent Wednesday celebrating Arkansas Peace Week with a full day of hands-on, peace-centered activities. They joined other middle school students from Hot Springs to explore different conflict styles and how cooperation and competition can both play a role in problem-solving.

Some highlights of the day included:
🤝 A thumb wrestling challenge
🔄 A trading game with “happiness ratings”
☕ Decorating coffee sleeves for Coffee Records with uplifting peace messages (watch for them on your next visit!)
✍️ Getting started on entries for the Arkansas Peace Week contest

It was a fun-filled and thought-provoking day of learning and smiles! We are so proud of our students. They always represent us with passion, pride, and excellence. A little extra passion on this day! 🖤🧡

👏 We have a Malvern Beta Club Safe Haven Baby Box Fundraiser Update!!

We are thrilled to share that, between the coin drive at Malvern Elementary School and Friday night’s football game collection, the Malvern Beta Club raised $1,496.21 toward the installation of a Safe Haven Baby Box in our community! 🖤🧡

This incredible effort was made possible by the generosity of our students, families, and fans who gave their change, bills, and support for such a worthy cause. You ALL deserve a pat on the back!

A huge thank you to the Malvern Fire Department and the Breath of Life Pregnancy Center for partnering with our Beta Club to make this project a reality.

Together, we are showing what it means to truly be a part of this amazing #LeopardFamily. 🐆

📜🇺🇸 Today we observe Constitution Day, marking the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia. This historic document established the framework of our government and continues to shape the rights and freedoms we cherish today.

Fun Fact: While the average life expectancy of a written constitution is only 19 years, the U.S. Constitution has lasted for 238 years and counting — making it one of the most enduring governing documents in the world. ✒️📖

Here at Malvern, our students are learning about the Constitution and its lasting impact on our daily lives in the constitutional republic that makes our country what it is today.

Let’s take a moment today to reflect on the importance of this document and the values that unite us as Americans! 🗽

🩸 Today at MHS, we held our Blood Drive in Bailey Auditorium — and when we stopped by to visit, we happened to catch an incredible moment: almost every single donor in the room at that time was Malvern staff! 🖤🧡

📚 Book Tasting at MMS!

Today, the Malvern Middle School library is buzzing with excitement as students take part in Book Tastings with our new librarian, Mr. Stony Evans! 🖤🧡

Here’s how it works:
🍽️ Students “sample” different books for a few minutes at a time.
📖 After trying two books in a genre, they move to another table to explore a new genre.
✨ It’s a creative way to help students discover new favorites and grow their passion for reading.

The turnout has been incredible, with so many students eagerly participating on their own — and it’s been a huge hit! 🎉

We love seeing our Leopards get excited about reading!

📸 Throwback Thursday – Malvern Schools History

We love when our Leopard family shares pieces of Malvern history with us! Today’s Throwback Thursday comes all the way from Mr. Petrarca in Carmel, Indiana.

🖤 The first photo is a class picture from around 1933. Franklin Harold Overton, a Malvern student who later gave his life in Korea in 1952, is pictured in the second row, second from the right.

🧡 The second photo is a completion certificate from 1916 for Linnie Overton (Williams), who was born in 1910. This certificate marked the completion of her early schooling right here in Malvern.

We’re so grateful to the family of Mary Alice Petrarca (Overton) for sharing these incredible glimpses of Malvern’s past with us. These photos remind us of the generations of students who have walked the halls of our schools and carried forward the legacy of Passion, Pride, and Excellence.

Thank you for sharing, Mr. Petrarca!

Happy Monday, MMS Parents!

Tomorrow, your student will come home with picture proofs (if he/she took them in August). The proofs say that orders must be back to the school by September 7th to receive free shipping, but that date is inaccurate--the correct date is September 16th. Students should return to their science teacher. Make-up pictures will be taken on Thursday, September 18th.

Thank you!
