Congratulations to two PHS students who were selected to serve on EAST Conference Leadership Teams! Jacob Griffin will serve as the leader of the technical support team composed of talented students selected from all over Arkansas - AMAZING! Jaylinn Williams will serve on the documentation team as a videographer. She was selected for her elite video editing skills - AWESOME! These two students will travel to Hot Springs in March to represent Paragould.
Speaking of EAST - take a gander at the Grande Mugs they are selling! A picture and ordering information is on the attached flyer.

Talented Tuesday at Baldwin! Each Tuesday they highlight a staff member or student that has a talent they would like to share on their Rise and Shine morning announcements. This week, they celebrated 4th grade teacher, Sarah Hay, who crochets AMAZING animals! She was kind enough to share a few pictures with us!

As winter is upon us so is the potential threat of wintry weather and possible school closures. The letter below is from our superintendent, Dr. Jankoviak, and outlines the AMI process that PSD will utilize this year in case of school closures. Packets will come home tomorrow (Wednesday 1/5/22). Please keep these in a safe place until they are needed.




You're invited!
What: The PHS Cheerleaders State Send off
When: Thursday 12/16/21 at 5:00pm
Where: PHS front parking lot
Why: To show those who cheer the loudest for the Rams that we love and support them as they head to their State competition!
We are wishing our cheerleaders good luck as they perform on Saturday morning at 9:46, 10:44, and 11:32 in the Bank of Ozark Arena in Hot Springs, AR. The top 4 teams make it to the finals at 12:45pm.
You can watch it live on this link https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/associations/aaa

PSD is monitoring the weather closely. Students that are currently on campus have been placed in a safe location. Students will be held at school until the storm passes.

Donations of new and gently used coats, gloves, socks, blankets, toboggans, etc. will be accepted in the EAST room at Paragould High School until Thursday, December 9th. GO RAMS! ❤️🐏💙
