Umpire PTO hosted our Reading Under the Stars. We'd like to thank our juniors Santos Salinas and Savanna White for reading the book, Mucho Amor (Lots of Love), to our kids. We'd also like to thank the Albiter family for catering a wonderful meal, and our PTO for all of their hard work! It's a great day to be a Wildcat!

✨ Healthy Habits Start Here! ✨
Today our 5th and 6th grade students at Cossatot River Elementary had the pleasure of learning about the importance of hygiene from two incredible health professionals:
👩⚕️ Leigh Garner, BSN, RN – Community Health Nurse Specialist, De Queen Mena Educational Coop
👩⚕️ Lori Arnette, BSN, RN – Community Health Nurse Specialist, Arkansas Department of Health, Southwest Arkansas Educational Cooperative
From proper handwashing to personal care routines, our students gained valuable knowledge to keep themselves healthy and feeling their best. A huge thank you to Ms. Arnette and Ms. Garner for sharing their time and expertise! 💙

✨ CRES February Star Students! ✨
This month, we celebrated Empathy—the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. These outstanding students have shown kindness, compassion, and a willingness to support their classmates in meaningful ways. Whether it was lending a helping hand, offering words of encouragement, or simply being a good listener, they have truly embodied what it means to care for others.
Join us in congratulating our February Star Students for leading with empathy and making CRES a brighter, kinder place!
Back Row (L-R): Madison Holbrook, Gabriel Martinez, David Cortes, Parker Crow, Marlie Winger, Kambri Speight, and Dominic Martinez
Front Row (L-R): Giovanni Maldonado, Isabella Cecilio, Bentley Moss, Jessie Denton, and Haydyn Hunter
