During Better World Week, 2nd graders passed out bumper stickers and put out yard signs around our community to help spread the word about how important bees are to our survival. @ELEDUCATION #BWD

During Better world week 4th graders raised awareness about microtrash-they created PSA buttons & distributed them to at the BWD picnic reminding people that even the smallest pieces of trash can have devastating consequences. @ELEDUCATION #BWD

During better world week, 5th graders worked with rangers, parents, & volunteers to plant native bushes and spread mulch in Conway’s Tiny Forest to increase the native chapparal, support local wildlife balancing the ecosystem. @ELEducation #BWD

This year’s Better World Week theme at Conway Academy of Expeditionary Learning is "Hands in Action, Hearts in Service." Students are leading projects that celebrate the spirit of service, teamwork, and environmental stewardship, taking action to care for their community and the planet. From creating a sensory garden and planting native bushes to cleaning up litter and designing awareness campaigns, students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade lead projects that reflect their responsibility, kindness, and commitment to making a difference. Through these meaningful acts of service, Conway students are growing together and showing what it means to build a better world, one action at a time.

UPDATE! Due to our rainy weather last week, we had to reschedule our 3rd Grade Family Day at Lunch to Friday, March 21 from 12:30 pm - 1:10 pm in the MPR. Families are invited to bring a store bought, homemade meal or purchase a school lunch here to enjoy with their student. We understand how important it is for parents to be involved in their children's school experience, and we truly value the opportunity for families to join us for lunch. However, in line with the district's wellness policy, we kindly ask that you provide food only for your student(s) and refrain from bringing food to share with other students. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, as not all families are aware of other students' food allergies and the seriousness of these conditions. We encourage families to RVSP before Thursday March 19. Click on the link provided below to RSVP. https://forms.gle/Ut5NVM7aMwyQNSQn6 *Maximum of 4 guests can attend *Food that you bring is for your student only *Play equipment is for students only *Sibling guest must be supervised at all times

Congratulation's to Miss Juana, our EPIC attendance clerk. She works tirelessly in her role and never hesitates to do the work of two clerks. We all saw this firsthand the week of SLCs when it was just her. She does everything possible to do her job accurately and as quickly as possible. She always goes above and beyond her duties to best support our school staff, families and students. She is the face of Conway and welcomes all our families with a smile even when it’s not reciprocated. She is very attentive to detail. It is impressive how she knows most of our students and families stories or specific situations. In fact, she prioritizes safety. No one can get past Juana as she makes sure to verify all visitors and guests. But what makes her even more special is how she drops everything she is currently working on to listen to others needs and support in whichever way possible. Miss Juana truly embodies Crew in everything she does and deserves to be our Classified staff member of the year!
