FMIS STUDENTS CREATE ADS FOR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER
See the message below from the Faulkner County Animal Shelter regarding our fourth graders at FMIS. Way to go Teachers and Students!
"We want to shine a spotlight on our new friends at Frank Mitchell Intermediate School! Their students have been working diligently to create thoughtful and creative ways to help our shelter pets find homes for the holidays. Not only did they spend time asking our staff questions to better understand the animals in our care, but they also visited the shelter to meet them in person.
To top it all off, they created wonderful pet profiles complete with original artwork. Be sure to keep an eye on these up-and-coming young ladies and gentlemen. They were respectful, curious, and engaged, and we can easily see many of them becoming valuable volunteers in the future.
When you visit the shelter, take your time walking down the hall toward the kennels. You just might spot a new companion who steals your heart.
Some of the displayed artwork and information feature animals who have already been adopted. If you are one of those proud new pet owners, the students would be happy for you to take the artwork created for your pet as a keepsake. For animals still awaiting adoption, their matching artwork may also go home with them once they find their families.
Thank you again to the students of Frank Mitchell Intermediate School. We truly appreciate your kindness and creativity and hope to see you all again soon."

VHS MILITARY CLUB VISITS VETERANS HOME
The VHS Military Club visited Gunter's Veterans Home last week. The students made cookie bags and homemade cards to hand out to the 9 veteran residents at the facility. Both the students and residents enjoyed the visit and the company. Some of the residents may not have received visitors during the Thanksgiving holiday. So it was an honor to be able to take part in this opportunity.






HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Vilonia School District is thankful for all of our wonderful students and families. We hope you enjoy this time with your family and friends and reflect on the important things in your life. Happy Thanksgiving!
