The Paragould School District has received an Emergency School Pantry and Food Box Program Grant Award in the amount of $25,000! This grant is administered by the Arkansas Food Bank in partnership with the six regional food banks. The purpose of the program is to provide additional food assistance to low income families with children. There will be at least one special food box distribution per week. The food from this program is meant for all family members, not just the children. The Paragould School District is excited about this awesome opportunity to serve our students and their families!

IT'S GAME DAY, RAM FANS! Don't forget, tonight's game has been selected as the Soncom Media Game of the Week. If you can't attend, be sure to tune in! The game will be streamed LIVE on www.facebook.com/SoncomMedia #psdrams
Virtual Students: Don't forget to shut down your Chromebooks at night and charge them! Remember, closing the lid does NOT count as shutting down; that just puts the Chromebook to sleep. Make sure you are clicking in the bottom right hand corner of your Chromebook screen, click Sign Out, and then click the Shut Down button. This lets your Chromebook update and it gives it a better rest than just putting it to sleep.
