🎉 End-of-Year Behavior Bash Success! 🎉

What an amazing way to wrap up the school year! Our students had a blast at our End-of-Year Behavior Bash, celebrating their hard work and positive choices all year long.

From an exciting game of kickball, to dancing the afternoon away at the silent disco party, to exploring creativity and problem-solving with robotics there was something fun for everyone.

We are so proud of our students and the great behavior they’ve shown throughout the year. Here’s to a fantastic finish and an even brighter year ahead!

We are proud to be recognized as a Heart Safe School through Arkansas Project ADAM and Arkansas Children’s! ❤️🏫

This achievement reflects the dedication of our staff, nurses, first responders, district personnel, and community partners who work together every day to help keep our students and staff safe. From emergency preparedness training to life-saving response planning, it truly takes a team effort — and we are grateful for every person who played a role in making this possible.

A special thank you to everyone who supports the health and safety of our school community. Together, we are creating a safer environment where our students can learn, grow, and thrive. 💙

🎉 Cafeteria Shoutout! 🎉

These two students did an amazing job showing excellent cafeteria behavior this morning! They stayed quiet, respectful, and even spent their time reading books while in the cafeteria. 📚

We are so proud of the positive choices Miss Walker and Miss Frazier made and the great example they set for others. Keep up the awesome work, Little Cats! 💙

PFME Yearbook

Today we celebrated two very special ladies at PFME — our amazing Speech-Language Pathologists, Mrs. Edmondson and Mrs. Pinter! 💙🗣️

Thank you both for the love, patience, encouragement, and support you give our students every single day. From helping little voices grow to building confidence and communication skills, your impact reaches far beyond the classroom. We are so thankful for the difference you make in the lives of our Little Cats! 🐾

We loved celebrating you with a few personalized gifts today because you deserve to feel appreciated not just today, but every day! 💕✨

Happy National Speech-Language Pathologist Day, Mrs. Edmondson and Mrs. Pinter! PFME is better because of you! 💙

Mattison’s Backyard Party was one for the books! The students had an absolute blast today. Thank you to all the teachers and staff who helped make the day run so smoothly.

A huge shoutout goes to these amazing Conway athletes who came in and truly helped save the day by volunteering, playing games, and making memories with our students. Their energy, kindness, and willingness to jump right in meant so much to our kids. We sure do appreciate them for showing up and showing out for Mattison! 💙
