We are so pleased to announce that out of the 65 pilot Schools of Conservation Leadership this year, Joshua Academy was one of only 31 schools selected to earn the designation as an Official School of Conservation Leadership for 2026-2029, AND we were recommended to be a "mentor" school! There will be more fanfare later as the State recognizes our school for this designation! We are preparing these image-bearers to steward our earth well!

Last week, our middle school students partnered with Arkansas Game & Fish Commission to grow native plants for Habitat restoration! These please will go into local lakes, like Beaver Lake to help create habitats for local fish populations. Before we got our hands dirty for a good cause, a Fisheries Biologist came and shared good information with the students. We are learning all the integral ways that we can be good stewards of God’s creation!!! 🌱

Did you know that Joshua Academy is a pilot school for Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s School of Conservation Leadership program? This program recognizes schools that increase conservation education, outdoor education, and outdoor recreation opportunities for their students. JA joined the program this school year, and in return has received wildlife education grants, allowing us to participate in Stream Team Program, Archery in Schools, an upcoming Butterfly Garden Program, upcoming Fishing Derby, and MORE! We were recently able to take some of our middle school students to take a certified Hunters Educatan Course. We have already seen the benefits of this collaboration with Arkansas Game and Fish, and we are deeply thankful for their commitment in helping get students outside to enjoy God’s creation.
