FPS middle school GT students recently hosted “Stars, Stripes, and Student Spirit”, a celebration of America’s 250th birthday, student voice, and American identity.

The large scale American flag installation, made of 250 individual pieces, toured all three FPS middle schools in one day and was presented to each student body. Each piece reflected student perspectives and created a powerful expression of what the American experience means to them.

Mayor Molly Rawn introduced the art reveal at John L Colbert Middle School, and students heard from guest speaker Tanya Mims, Arkansas 250 Commissioner. Students also participated in interactive experiences with the Arkansas Department of Education and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art Mobile Art Lab.

It was a meaningful day of creativity, reflection, and student engagement across FPS.

🌎🦇 Learning went underground this week at John L Colbert Middle School! Outdoor Adventure students explored Cosmic Caverns near Berryville, diving into geology and cave formation during a guided tour.

Students observed stunning features like soda straw stalactites, flowstone, and mysterious underground lakes while learning about the fragile ecosystem that exists beneath the Ozarks. What an exciting way to bring learning to life! ⛰️✨
