For Hispanic Heritage Month, the Stinger Library Club created Talavera Tiles. "Named after the Spanish city of Talavera de la Reina, this uniquely Mexican ceramic has gained worldwide acclaim for its high quality and beauty. A blend of indigenous and European artistry, the history of Talavera is as colorful as its various patterns."

👕 AVID Wednesday! 👕

Don’t forget to show your AVID pride by rocking your college and career shirts tomorrow! At Daisy Bates Elementary, Tigers took AVID to the next level with their annual Rock Your School Week. 🐯

Teachers flipped their classrooms into real-world career spaces — from doctors’ offices 🩺 to other exciting professions — giving scholars a chance to explore college and career pathways in hands-on, creative ways. 🎓

This event and AVID are all about helping our scholars DREAM BIG, set goals, and see their future selves in action. A huge shoutout to our teachers for making learning an adventure every single day! 📚

#AVIDWednesday #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

✏️📚 Each day, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is shaping students' futures. From building strong study habits to practicing leadership skills, they reminded us that college and career readiness start with determination and support. 💪

⏰ Tomorrow, remember to wear your college or career shirt to show what your future could hold or where in your past shaped you. 👕🎓

On Saturday, October 4, 29 students from Maumelle MS went to audition with 1075 other students from around Central Arkansas at the Region 2 Jr. High All Region Tryouts. We had three students from Maumelle MS make the Jr. High All-Region Choir! It is such an honor to make the choir, and we'd like to give them a special Stinger Shout Out!!! Go Stingers!!!

This week, Ms. Sam's students explored the concepts of density and buoyancy through a hands-on lab!

They designed and tested boats to see if the shape of the boat affected how much weight it could hold before sinking. The results were amazing, some boats held far more than expected, while others sank quickly! Nice work! Go Stingers!!!

Ms. Muffley's classes were working on fractions, decimals, and percents. Students were using stations that included converting 10x10 grids into fractions, decimals, and percents and trashketball using baskets made out of total attempts (10) and converting that into a percent. Great work, scholars! Go Stingers!!!

Who says math isn’t used in everyday life? Coach Mooney’s ALE class takes on a budget and a spending scenario to see if they have the funds to purchase all of their items with tips and sale taxes added on! Way to go, Stingers!!!

Students who donated their change from book fair purchases to Share the Fair, formerly All for Books, were in a drawing to win a book or a poster! Here are some of the students who won in the drawing. A big "Thank You" to these students for their generosity! Go Stingers!!!
