🎵 Yesterday, our Malvern Leopard Band competed at the ASBOA State Marching Contest! 🎵

Before their performance, the band gathered together in prayer, and they managed to give it everything they had, delivering one of their best performances of the year!

This year’s state score came in 10 points higher than their last appearance, and the band placed 11th out of 27 schools! They also managed to move ahead of several programs that previously ranked above them. Their hard work has been paying off! Take it from us, we know they are practicing hard, we hear them practicing on the field when we get to work in the mornings! 😁

We’re so proud of the hard work, discipline, and passion these students have been showing all season long. They really have been exemplifying the Malvern motto of #PassionPrideExcellence.

Congratulations to the Malvern Band on an amazing performance at War Memorial Stadium yesterday! 🧡🖤🎶

🧪🎃 Science Meets Spooky Season! 🎃🧪

Students in Ms. Dassenko's Physical Science class had a blast last Friday on Halloween with a Halloween-themed lab exploring the properties of matter and how it changes! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

From bubbling reactions to colorful, artistic experiments with "invisible" paint, students used hands-on activities to bring a little fun to the classroom on Halloween!! 👻 Thanks, Mrs. Dassenko! They look like they had a blast! 💥

🇺🇸 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 🇺🇸⁣

The Malvern School District proudly recognizes Military Family Appreciation Month, a time to honor the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of the men and women who serve, but more importantly, the families who stand beside them along the way. 🧡💙⁣

Many families in our community have deep ties to military service, and we want to take a moment to thank each of you for your commitment and courage. 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, a designation awarded to schools that show a significant commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families. ⁣

This year’s observance comes during an especially challenging time, as the ongoing federal government shutdown continues to affect many of our service members who are currently not receiving pay. Please know that we see you, we appreciate you, and we stand with you.⁣

💬 Ways to Support Military Families:⁣
• Check in on military families in your community.⁣
• Share valuable resources — many organizations are offering emergency financial or wellness support, we have many on our website!⁣

To help connect families with these services, we’ve compiled a list of organizations offering assistance to military families, available on our website:⁣
🔗https://www.malvernleopards.org/page/purple-star-school⁣

You can find many different resources at the above link, including assistance for issues related to: ⁣
• Advocacy⁣
• Finances⁣
• Food Assistance⁣
• and much more⁣

We especially encourage families to explore resources like:⁣
• Military OneSource, which offers 24/7 support and counseling services.⁣
• Camp Alliance, which helps connect Arkansas military families with emergency and community resources.⁣
• Operation Homefront and Army Emergency Relief, both offering emergency financial assistance to active-duty members and veterans.⁣

Additionally, don't forget that there are many community resources available for every type of family at this link: ⁣
🔗 https://www.malvernleopards.org/page/communityresources⁣

If you have any questions, please reach out to our District Military Education Coordinator, Cass Allen, at callen@malvernleopards.org. Alternatively, you can reach out to David Arnold, our Malvern High School Military Liaison. Mr. Arnold and Mr. Allen are both veterans, and will be happy to help you with any needs you or your family may have.

Thank you to all of our military families for the sacrifices you make every day. You are an important part of our Leopard family, and we support you! Happy Military Family Appreciation Month! ❤️⁣

💵📚 Learning How to “Get Real” About Finances! 📊✨

This week, Malvern High School's Financial Literacy students participated in a hands-on budgeting simulation called Get Real, hosted by the Hot Spring County Extension Office! 💼✅

Students were challenged with real-world financial decision-making. From paying bills and managing necessities to planning for wants and savings, they were shown how to manage it all. They visited “stations” throughout the library where they had to make responsible choices to stay within their budget… just like adulthood! 😉

A big thank you to:
✔️ Mrs. Campbell for leading this important program
✔️ Jessica Rodriguez and the Extension Office for hosting
✔️ Community volunteers who helped add the icing to the cake

Preparing our students for success beyond high school is what we’re all about here at Malvern School District. With #PassionPrideExcellence! 🧡🖤

🎩🎄 A little laughter goes a long way! 🎄🎩

This morning, a couple of our favorite School Resource Officers, Officer O’Keefe and Officer Ridings, decided to sprinkle some extra cheer around Malvern High School! Whether they’re keeping our students safe or sharing a laugh in the hallway, these two always make the day brighter. 😄✨

We are so grateful for their positivity, dedication, and the fun energy they bring to campus each and every day! Thank you to our SROs and the Malvern Police Department for all you do for our schools and community! 🧡🐆🖤

Who would have thought that Santa employed a few of our local police officers for seasonal employment? 🎅🏻

🍁 Happy Friday, Leopard Family! 🐆🧡

Can you believe it? Fall Break is almost here — and that means the first quarter of the school year is officially in the books! 🎉👏

We’re so proud of all our students, staff, and families for the hard work, late nights, early mornings, and everything in between that’s made these first nine weeks a success.

📚 Enjoy your Friday, Leopards — you’ve earned it!
And don’t forget — there will be no school Monday, October 20, or Tuesday, October 21 for Fall Break! 🍂

💬 We’d love to hear from you — what are your Fall Break plans? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

🎉 Happy Boss’s Day to the Best of the Best! 🧡🖤

It’s a little late in the evening, but we couldn’t let the day pass without celebrating two incredible leaders who really do so much more than is expected of them. Superintendent Janet Blair and Assistant Superintendent Lillian Harper are the backbone of this wonderful school district, and they truly deserve more than a Facebook post.

We chose these photos of them because, even though they are silly, it really does show how much they care. These two wonderful ladies truly care about the school district and every single person in it. No one asks them to dress up for Dr. Seuss's birthday and go read books to the kids with Sandra Brosius at the elementary school. No one asks them to dress up in full costume and participate in Leopards on Broadway to go sing in the auditorium. (yes, we still have the photos, Mrs. Blair!)...but they do it anyways. Why?

Because they love it. They love being here, and they love doing what they do.

These two go above and beyond every single day to make sure that everything is taken care of. From the smallest concern to the biggest challenge, all of it gets the attention and care it deserves. Their dedication is unmatched, and they give the same effort at 7 AM that they give at 7 PM. They work long days and often get early morning starts just to keep our district moving forward with #PassionPrideExcellence

Thank you, Mrs. Blair and Mrs. Harper, for all that you do for our students, staff, and community. We are so grateful for you both! Words really can't sum it up!💐👏

🌎🇺🇸 Happy Columbus Day, Leopards! 🧭

Today we commemorate Columbus Day, recognizing Christopher Columbus’s 1492 voyage that connected the Old World and the New. This day reminds us of the importance of exploration, discovery, and curiosity — values we encourage in our students every day!

🧠 Fun Fact: Columbus’s journey across the Atlantic took about 10 weeks, and he actually landed in the Bahamas — not North America as many people think!

We hope everyone in Leopard Nation enjoys the day and keeps exploring new horizons in learning and in life! 🧡🖤
