Some of our Seniors attended Draft Day, hosted by Be Pro Be Proud, today with Ms. Hays, our Career Coach. We are so proud of them because it took a lot of work to get there!
In order to attend they had to complete:
90 minute YouScience Assessment
4 hour Resume and Mock Interview workshop
Bring a Resume
They then got to sit down and interview for jobs with high-wage employers in the River Valley. Students were able to make connections with businesses and could be called in for second interviews with employers!
Bus Route Update for today 3/16/23 - The Cat Bus will be combined on the Whale Bus this afternoon.
Also parents please be aware that the Circle M Bus stop in Altus will be moving across Hwy 64 to the car wash due to construction. The bus will start picking up and dropping off there Monday 3-27-23 after Spring Break. Thanks so much. #jcwestside #westsiderebels #johnsoncountyar #arkansas

Arkansas Run for the Fallen
On March 17-19, 2023, in a reflection of remembrance, a team of runners will embark on a 155 mile run to honor Arkansas service members who have died while serving on active duty since September 11, 2001. The run begins in Ozark, Arkansas and ends in Little Rock, Arkansas. Each mile of the run is dedicated to an Arkansas Hero. The run team stops at each marker where they present an American Flag and a biographical card in honor of a fallen service member who has died while serving since 9/11/2001 in an effort to create a 155 mile memorial trail through Arkansas.
These are the expected times for Altus and some of Johnson County for Friday, March 17. The runners LOVE to hear the support while running their mile.
